Bakwa 12: The Lost Manuscript and Other Meditations takes critical fabulation as a starting point; a deliberate act of speculative storytelling that reimagines the possibilities of literary history. Spanning Martinique to Mauritius, Yaoundé to Popenguine, this issue features a fictional reconstruction of the disappearance of the original handwritten manuscript of Things Fall Apart; Ernest JésùyẹmÃ's follow-up to his widely discussed essay, Is Contemporary 'Nigerian Poetry' Nigerian?; a portrait of Suzanne Césaire that restores her central place within Tropiques and the Surrealist movement; and three double-page maps by Moses März deconstructing the literary feud between Chinua Achebe and Ayi Kwei Armah. Alongside poetry, essays, short stories and visual interventions, Bakwa 12 asks what survives the archive and what slips beyond its reach.
Contributors include Nkiacha Atemnkeng, Monique Kwachou, Savanna Morgan, Ernest JésùyẹmÃ, Moses März, Dzekashu MacViban, Sabah Carrim, Lubi Barre, Adama Keïta, Autricia Timti, and Lorena Nolwen Lekeufack Kamaha.
