Africa Reading Challenge

[snurri]

Yup, still doing this. I had to track down a couple more books to add to the ones I had around; I picked up the Hari and the Halperin based on mentions in other people's lists. Here's mine:

Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali by D.T. Niane, trans. G.D. Pickett

Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton

The Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfur by Daoud Hari

I Laugh So I Won't Cry: Kenya's Women Tell the Stories of Their Lives by Helena Halperin

The Heart of the Ngoni: Heroes of the African Kingdom of Segu by Harold Courlander and Ousmane Seko

Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi Wa'Thiong'O

I'll post about each book as I finish it.

Wizard of the Crow currently also links to Heart of the Ngoni.

Oops. Fixed, I think! Thanks for the heads-up.
