This debut book by one of America’s most acclaimed young journalists illuminates the inner lives of ordinary people doing the extraordinary – lives that are too often hidden, underreported, or ignored by the rest of the world.

A Moonless, Starless Sky: Ordinary Women and Men Fighting Extremism in Africa is the debut book from Alexis Okeowo, one of America’s most acclaimed young journalists.

Okeowo creates a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent’s wave of fundamentalism.
