The sixteen short stories in this anthology reflect some of the most pressing global issues of concern today. These stories have been carefully chosen to represent as many geographical regions of the world as possible. They address such concerns as: political leadership and politics of integration; terrorism and youth radicalisation; domestic violence, racial relations, sexuality and gender, the environment and environmental sustainability, religion and culture and globalisation. Some of the stories also give a social commentary on such aspects of life as family and social relationships. The stories are drawn from a diverse cadre of writers. There are stories from experienced and celebrated writers, others from upcoming writers and some from a new crop of writers. There are young as well not-so-young contributors. This gives the anthology both wealth in terms of style of writing and diversity of viewpoints and perspectives. A read through this anthology is like a walk across geopolitical borders, a peek into the varied cultures of the world and a dialogue with members of di erent generations, all culminating into one major realisation: we are one and we need each other. It is an enthralling read.

The Warm Heart of Africa, fifty years in the making, is the story of Susan, one of the first Peace Corps Volunteers. It is also the story of Peter, a ninety-two year old African who became her salvation. She meets him soon after attempting to quit the Peace Corps...but failing. Peter is at first reticent to talk of his past, for fear of opening old wounds. With time, he learns to trust and slowly shares his stories with Susan, beginning with, "My father was the first man to see Livingstone and he almost killed him!" Later he tells her how Yao slave traders invaded his village when he was six, burning houses and killing the very old, the very young and the weak - those who would not endure the cruel march to the Indian Ocean. He recalls the bitter memory of a slaver dragging his mother from his grasp to be sold for a sultan's harem, never to be seen again. He then shares with Susan how he and his father were auctioned at the slave market of Zanzibar and crammed into an Arab dhow sailing to Yemen, to be sold once again, his only consolation being that his father was still with him. Two days in, a frigate fired a shot across the bow and Arabs began throwing their cargo into the sea in the grim hope of out sailing the frigate. Peter, too small to be of notice, watched in hiding as an ugly Arab hurled his father into the sea. Then a cannon shot from the frigate demasted the dhow, hurling him into the sea. Unable to swim, he survived by clutching the splintered mast until he was plucked from the sea by men in blue coat who brought him back to their frigate where he took his first step in his twenty-one years in the service of the Queen. As major domo to a young officer, Horace Smith-Dorrien, he would come to see battle against Zulus, Afridis, Pathans, Boers and Sepoys, before returning home to start a life in the service of God, a story he slowly and painfully shares with Susan, like him, a stranger in a strange land. The author met Peter and was Susan.

One of South Africa's best known authors William Charles Scully pens the short story collection "The White Hecatomb, and Other Stories". The stories provide a vivid picture of South African native life in the period before the coming of white men. "Then the men sharpened their spears once more, and we set our faces to the southward. We covered the face of the land like the locusts we were fleeing from, and the tribes fled before us like game before a troop of wild dogs. When we crossed the great river (the Orange) we turned to the eastward, and over-ran the country of the Abatembu, who never stood to fight us on a single occasion. Then we turned to the northward, and wandered on, secure in our great numbers, and driving herds of spoil. At length we crossed the Umtata River and took possession of the mountain range between that and the Inxu River. Here, we said, we will make a home, and now we will cease from wandering about like wild animals. We had spoiled the Abatembu of grain, so we broke the ground and again sowed millet, of which we gathered a good harvest. We built huts, and we thought that at length we should have rest. I was then a young girl, hardly old enough to marry..."
