Coles Imprint Africa: Conversations with African Women Publishers at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
IMPRINT AFRICA is a collection of interviews that chronicles the work of a new network of female intellectuals and activists who have transformed African publishing across the twenty-first century. The rise of woman-led literary initiatives across the last two decades - from Blackbird Books in South Africa to Ake Arts and Book Festival in Nigeria - has led to major literary-publishing shifts. Bringing together voices from the African diaspora and the African continent; these conversations speak in vital ways to the successes and challenges of this ongoing and transformative literary moment. The book includes a foreword by Margaret Busby, and an introduction by Joel Cabrita, of Stanford University. And an afterword by Kadija George Sesay (Sable Literary Magazine) There are interviews with 9 women publishers/literary activists: Ellah Wakatama (Caine Prize), Bibi Bakare-Yusuf (Cassava Republic Press), Zukiswa Wanner (Paivapo), Ainehi Edoro (Brittle Paper), Louise Umutoni (Huza Press), Lola Shoneyin (Ake Arts and Book Festival), Colleen Higgs (Modjaji Books), Goretti Kyomuhendo (African Writers' Trust), and Thabiso Mahlape (Blackbird Books).
