    The Transom Review Volume 15/Issue 2 Chenjerai Kumanika March 2015 (Edited by Sydney Lewis) Chenjerai Kumanyika The Transom Review – Vol.15/ Issue 2 Intro from Jay Allison Chenjerai took our Transom Traveling Workshop on Catalina and suddenly had to reckon with his own voice, his own identity, in the role of a public radio reporter.
