Tsitsi Jaji was born and raised in Zimbabwe. She is an assistant professor of English and Africana Studies at University of Pennsylvania. Her poetry has appeared in Seven New Generation African Poets (Slapering Hol, 2014), Prairie Schooner, Poetry International, Bitter Oleander, Munyori, Runes, and elsewhere. She is also the author of Africa in Stereo: Modernism, Music and Pan-African Solidarity (Oxford, 2014).


“Having a deep knowledge of the history of exchanges, including their tensions and limitations, is an essential resource for building future exchanges, and in a world in which resources are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a very few, it is essential that we keep articulating that black lives matter everywhere.” – Tsitsi Jaji, in a recent interview with APBF

A poetry reading will follow from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the Nebraska Union (Regency A).
