Visiting Akwa Ibom, Living in Uyo is a collection of intimate, interlinked personal essays about food, literature, childhood, being newly married, the bloom of love and friendship, and the act of carving out a life in Uyo. It’s also a love letter to cuisine and culture, especially the varied and generous food traditions of Akwa Ibom. Nmadiuto James has mapped out a sensory journey about learning to root oneself in a place that surprises with its tenderness and solidness- Uyo, Akwa Ibom.
