Lovely
What you people think of African literature? I think it is very rich.
http://www.britannica.com/Blackhistory/ ... lue=384733"The dominant theme in much of the literature in African languages is the conflict between traditional cultures and modernization."
Exciting

ABSAME, I totally agree, African literature is very rich. But most of the authors I have read were Nigerian like Chinua Achebe.
African’s have a strong oral tradition most of which is being lost. I think more should be done to encourage and invest in developing African literature and perhaps translating more local tales for global readers.
Gurly, what’s cracking you up?

San Dher , you appear to be educated unlike most of the children here.
You right we should encourage our literature like Shakespeare's plays regarding the tragedies of Julius ceaser and stuff like that.
