Review
“…a major contribution to our knowledge…of the essential scholarship and creative product of Black African literature…”
Olu Obafemi, Professor of English, University Ilorin, Nigeria
“One thing is clear from both Who Needs a Story and War and Peace: humanity thrives and benefits from a robust exchange of ideas, which comes into fruition when entities—individuals, nations—speak their minds and translation projects are both equitably encouraged and adequately funded.”
