On October 10, IMOW in association with the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) hosted an evening with Author and IMOW Global Council Member Aminatta Forna, in conversation with Sarah Ladipo Manyika, Lecturer/Writer and MoAD Board Member.

From human rights in Africa to the importance of education for girls and boys and now the impact of war and the silence that follows in Croatia; Aminatta Forna, one of contemporary Africa's most important and perceptive chroniclers, joined us to discuss her newest novel, The Hired Man, set in a Croatian town that is still recovering from the indelible effects of war.
