7 November - International Day of African Writers
Characteristics of African literature include slave narratives, protests against colonization, calls for independence, African pride, hope for the future, and dissent.
The Pan African Writers Association (PAWA), founded in November 1989, is a Ghana-based cultural institution “born in the larger crucible of Pan Africanism.
Making a list of the best African writers is a delicate exercise. The majority of African cultures primarily maintained and still maintain an oral tradition for transmitting literature. That’s the case with the Epic of Sundiata, an epic poem in the Mandinka language that recounts the founding of the Mali empire in the 13th century. It’s still sung by the Griot storytellers of the 21st century.
