Angel's Compendium-Second Issue

We take it global in this issue of Angel’s Compendium and explore the story of our brothers and sisters in Africa. Three articles are included with critical, but on-the-ground commentary on life in the largest and most resource-filled continent on the earth. Skin lightening has become a billion dollar industry across the continent and unfortunately across the African diaspora, to the detriment of the health of many, and we explore how it is viewed in Africa. The war in Ukraine may seem like us to be a world away but that war is causing a great shortage of wheat flour that is an essential part of the diet in many countries in Africa, that is explored in this issue to. Corruption in politics and delicate issue of reparations is nuance in this issue as well as the topic of the continued European influence in politics and power in Africa is addressed.
