For Cape Verde and for Sao Tome & Principe I've found two books in English - but they seem to be only on Amaz*n.

I really DO NOT want to give that company any money (not mine, nor my local library's) - but should i just suck it up? 🙃

[readingafrica @readroundafrica]

Well. Three countries to go in my African reading challenge 🤓

Cape Verde
Sao Tome & Principe
Seychelles

I'm really struggling to find any #SeychelloisLiterature in English (& my French stops at coffee and croissants, sadly) - any tips would be so gratefully received! #Seychelles

I really loved reading this book and hope you do too! For me the most striking things was its coverage of the First World War and the experience of tirailleurs.

Just finished The Fortunes of Wangrin by Amadou Hampate Ba - a super readable book set in Mali from 1910s on with a really strong #WW1 theme of tirailleur lives running through it!

Hey did you know about the time the British empire illegally trafficked tons of drugs into China and got people hooked on opium... including my great granddad? No?

FEMALE MONARCHS AND MERCHANT QUEENS, a book by Nwando Achebe and published by @OhioUnivPress, tells the story of female leadership in its many forms throughout African history. A must read for history buffs and feminists alike!
