“A stupendous full-cast, fully-realized production…Buffered in hilarity, Brown also provides a brilliant exposé of undeniable, inescapable inequity and injustice.” —Booklist (starred review)
Written and performed by TikTok star Clare Brown, New Nigeria County is a whip-smart, full-cast satire tackling race, gender, and nationalism in today’s world. When a white family moves into an affluent Black community, a “misunderstanding” between neighbors escalates until the entire town is swept up in the drama.
New Nigeria is a good, clean, all-American town. The husbands are smiling and handsome, the wives are strong, rich, and powerful, and Nat Turner High is the best public school in the state. Yet, the citizens of this idyllic community find themselves in a rapidly changing country and, to be perfectly honest, some of them are a teeny bit uncomfortable with it all.
When a New Nigeria community leader Carèn makes a frantic phone call to the local police about a “potential gang member” roaming her cushy Malcolm X Estates neighborhood, it turns out the boy is her new European American neighbor, Jake Smith, and the misunderstanding quickly becomes the talk of the town. While Jake’s mom, Meghan, is hurt by her new neighbor’s behavior, Carèn works tirelessly to preserve the safety (and the property values) of her beloved community. As the two women work toward their own version of equity, their conflict continues to escalate, setting off a chain of cringe-worthy confrontations that send the good citizens of New Nigeria into a tailspin.
New Nigeria County is a hilarious, razor-sharp debut, flipping the script to expose uncomfortable truths through wildly entertaining comedy. This dynamic audiobook, created for the listening experience, is perfect for fans of Abbott Elementary, Dear White People, and Such a Fun Age.

Clare Brown has been perpetually online since 2009 when she had one of the first viral fashion blogs called Clarabelle. She pivoted to short form videos in 2020, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, VICE, People, and numerous local news stations across the country. She has amassed over 600,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok with her satirical takes on the not-so-micro impact of microaggressions. Clare recently started a popular book review podcast called One More Chapter with a fellow TikToker and narrated the premiere episode of the Honest History podcast.
Claude Brown was born in New York City and grew up in Harlem. At age seventeen, after serving several terms in reform school, he left Harlem for Greenwich Village. He went on to receive a bachelor's degree from Howard University and attended law school. He also wrote a book called The Children of Ham in 1976. Manchild in the Promised Land evolved from an article he published in Dissent magazine during his first year at college. He died in 2002 at the age of 64.
