Lives of Great Men pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, Chiké Frankie Edozien learned to read from the newspapers his father brought home. Today he’s an award-winning reporter whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Times (UK), Quartz, Vibe magazine, Time Magazine and more.
He was a New York Post political reporter for over a decade. His work has been featured on numerous new broadcasts. He co-founded the AFRican magazine in 2001 to tell often overlooked, African stories.
In 2017, he authored the much-heralded Lives of Great Men. An excerpt, the much anthologized ‘Shea Prince’ is a finalist for the 2018 Gerald Kraak Award for Human Rights Writing. Lives has won the 2018 Lambda literary Award for Gay Biography/Nonfiction.
The Book is also a 2018 finalist for the Publishing Triangle’s Randy Shilts Award for Nonfiction. His fiction has been published by Jalada/Transitions Magazine. When he’s not teaching journalism at New York University, where he’s a Clinical Associate Professor and director of the ‘Reporting Africa’ program, he’s traveling across Africa or curled up with his two feline friends.

From Victoria Island, Lagos to Brooklyn, U.S.A. to Accra, Ghana to Paris, France; from across the Diaspora to the heart of the African continent, in this memoir Nigerian journalist Chike Frankie Edozien offers a highly personal series of contemporary snapshots of same gender loving Africans, unsung Great Men living their lives, triumphing and finding joy in the face of great adversity. On his travels and sojourns Edozien explores the worsening legal climate for gay men and women on the continent; the impact homophobic evangelical American pastors are having in many countries, and its toxic intersection with political populism; and experiences the pressures placed on those living under harshly oppressive laws that are themselves the legacy of colonial rule - pressures that sometimes lead to seeking asylum in the West. Yet he remains hopeful, and this memoir, which is pacy, romantic and funny by turns, is also a love-letter to Africa, above all to Nigeria and the megalopolis that is Lagos.
