Africa Reading Challenge (statement of intent)

by Niniane on Apr.02, 2008, under Africa!, Blogging, News: Literary, On Reading, postcolonial issues

Here’s the list of books I will read this year for the Africa challenge. I may change this list, if other books I’ve come across are more tempting/riveting to review! I’m not going to cheat, especially since I’ve read way more than the listed in January and February combined, but these are books I was going to read anyway. Some are still on my desk at uni:

So Long A Letter - Mariamma Ba (read and reviewed)
Nervous Conditions – Tsitsi Dangarembga (read and reviewed)
An African Popular Literature: A Study of Onitsha Market Pamphlets - Emmanuel Obiechina (read and reviewed)
African Philosophy: The Essential Readings – Tsenay Serequeberhan (read and reviewed)
The Palm-Wine Drinkard- Amos Tutuola (read)
Song for Night – Chris Abani (read and reviewed)
