2. CassavaRepublic Press
www.cassavarepublic.biz
This is what Cassava Republic Press' refreshing
and engaging website have to say about the
intecontinental brand:
We set up Cassava Republic in 2006, after a
few years of contemplation and planning.
African writers were being increasingly
published and read overseas, with little
knowledge or availability of this new wave of
talent in Nigeria. The conversation about
African writing was taking place elsewhere.
Something had to be done.
Seven years later, we are a small but
established publishing brand, with a reputation
for bringing out high quality fiction and non-
fiction for adults and children alike.
Our mission is to change the way we all think
about African writing. We think that
contemporary African prose should be rooted in
African experience in all its diversity, whether
set in filthy-yet-sexy megacities such as Lagos
or Kinshasa, in little-known rural communities,
in the recent past or indeed the near future. We
also think the time has come to build a new
body of African writing that links writers across
different times and spaces.
It's therefore the right time to ask challenging
questions of African writing - where have we
come from, where are we now, where are we
going? Our role is to facilitate and participate in
addressing these questions, as our list grows.
We are still just beginning.
Good job, Cassava Republic.
