11 Days, 11 Books, 11 Ways to Discover Africa

Introducing Worldreader Showcase: The best books in our collection

By Nancy Brown

For the last month, we’ve been glued to our Kindles. We’ve been re-reading thousands of e-books in our library and putting together a best-of-the-best list that boldly illustrates Africa’s rich, vibrant literary heritage.

Some weeks, we virtually swept across the dusty plains of Africa. Other weeks, we traveled along the Kenyan coastline. We discovered the Africa that exists under a jacaranda tree, on university campuses and in the era of colonialism. We read multi-faceted and riveting narratives told by teenage girls, learned about African life through children’s fables, and beared witness to the changing landscape of this dynamic continent.

After weeks of review, we proudly present Worldreader Showcase and the Top 11 books that give readers of all ages a quintessential and authentic look at a place close to our hearts. Here they are:
