Africa Reading Challenge
Apr. 19th, 2008 04:33 pmYup, 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.
