[close] We explore the unpopular African literature covering history , culture and African society

[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.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] Hello Readers! This group is open to all people who would like to group-read books that meet ONE OR MORE of the following criteria: - The book author is born in an African country - The book author lives predominantly in an African country - The book location is in an African country I would like to focus predominantly on fiction, but will share a biographical book every once in a while. The plan is to tackle one book a month. Sometimes, I like to throw caution to the wind and have two books by the same author in a month. After the end of each month, I encourage readers to engage in conversation regarding the book and leave their personal reviews, even if a one-liner :)
