African Literature

[close] This book club is based on the Reading Africa project described on Me in Mzansi. It's a project to combat xenophobia in South Africa through pan-Africanist literature. Anyone can join (you don't need to be South African). The goal is to read one book from each African country! Each month, a book will be chosen from a selection and then we will discuss the book. The book should be set in that particular country and written by someone from that country. (This can be quite tricky to define but it really depends on each author's individual relationship with that country). The book should undermine the stereotypes that Wainaina mentions in "How to Write about Africa" and Adichie talks about in "The Danger of a Single Story".

[close] A group of enthusiastic people who are willing to discuss about their reading experiences. The aim of the group is to allow a comfortable platform for readers to share their views and thoughts about books, authors while working towards building active conversations. Welcome and enjoy :)

How can modern, western societies provide incentives to rural communities to practice wise wildlife and habitat conservation? This group will expire these issues and filmmaker/author Tom Opre’s series of books Killing the Shepherd.

[close] A group for anyone interested in or reading books by African writers. We discuss, celebrate and share our experiences with the African literary scene and explore many of the books that come from the continent.
