S5 E10: The month of heroines: FEMICRITURE. A home for African female writers! (Part 2)

FOR AFRICAN FEMALE WRITERS..

” You need to read to open up your world” is a phrase I often heard when I was a child. But in the era of so-called social networks, the supremacy of WhatsApp, fake news and Facebook pages, it seems that fewer and fewer adults are reading books. And this observation is even more striking for the younger generation. Do young Africans still read books? What do they read? Which African authors do they read? Where do they read or find the books?

Want the answers? Then it’s good you are embarking with us on this 4th Sankofa takeoff piloted by a heroine of this month of March, Prof Cécile, who takes us in a dive in the head and the readings of our young people, a journey in search of answers, in a flight to the heart of African feminine literature.
