THE AFRICAN COURIER. Reporting Africa and its Diaspora! The African Courier is an international magazine published in Germany to report on Africa and the Diaspora African experience. The first issue of the bimonthly magazine appeared on the newsstands on 15 February 1998. The African Courier is a communication forum for European-African political, economic and cultural exchanges, and a voice for Africa in Europe.
The Stimmen Afrikas Festival in Germany (Voices of Africa in Germany) will be turning ten in November 2019. The festival, which aims to create a market for African literature in the country, will this year be curated by Bibi Bakare-Yusuf, co-founder and publishing director of Cassava Republic Press, Nigeria.
The event, themed “Crossing Borders: Translate – Transpose – Communicate,” will be held in the city of Cologne, from 6-9 November.
The festival will feature readings, lectures, audience discussions, workshops and music performances.
Among the over 40 authors and translators expected are Mukoma wa Ngugi, Zukiswa Wanner, Boubakar Boris Diop, Susan Kiguli, and Paul Bandia. The detailed guest list and festival program will be published on the festival’s website.
In 2017, the festival’s organisers published the only German translation of Ngũgĩ wa Thiongo’o’s Decolonizing the Mind. For this 10th anniversary, an anthology, Imagine Africa 2060, containing short stories by 10 African authors who share their visions on the continent’s future, has been published.
