[close] Welcome to the Goodreads group for Diaspora.Connected! “Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.” ― Chinua Achebe We've created a pan african reading challenge ( #ReadPanAfrica) to fan the flames for excitement and curiosity about the black experience expressed in literature across the African Diaspora - this includes authors from Sub-Saharan Africa (East, South, and West), the Caribbean, North and South America, Europe and refugees/migrants outside the continent.
