Wasafiri is a literary magazine at the forefront of mapping new landscapes in contemporary international literature today. In over 25 years
of publishing, it has continued to
provide consistent coverage to Britain's diverse cultural heritage
and publish a range of
diasporic and migrant writing worldwide. ‘Wasafiri’, the Kiswahili word for travellers, captures our vision to focus on writing as a form of ‘cultural travelling’. Since Wasafiri was first published in 1984, it has consistently aimed to shift the contours of established literary canons and extend the borders of international contemporary writing, creating imaginative spaces and publishing some of the most promising new literary voices.
