Discovering a new self in the diaspora

What's it like to walk the tightrope between life at home in Africa and life in the diaspora?

Award-winning Ugandan writer Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi has been exploring this in her book Manchester Happened, which has just come out in paperback.

Famous for the acclaimed novel Kintu, Makumbi turned her hand to writing short stories weaving tales between Uganda and the UK.

She told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that through the diaspora experience people "discover pieces of themselves they may never have know".
