this is all a bit obvious, but i think it makes a good starting point.
- chinua achebe - things fall apart; no longer at ease; a man of the people
- buchi emecheta - the joys of motherhood; the new tribe; a kind of marriage
- pepetela (in translation unless you’re fluent in português) - the adventures of ngunga; mayombe; the return of the water spirit
- wangari maathai - the green belt movement; reclaiming resources and rights of women, poverty, and environment
- ngugi wa thiong’o - the black hermit; a grain of wheat; devil on the cross
si vous êtes francophone:
- mariama bâ - une si longue lettre; la fonction politique des littératures africaines écrites
- calixthe beyala - lettre d’une afro-française à ses compatriotes; maman a un amant
- frantz fanon (obligatoire, mais de la diaspora) - peau noir, masques blancs; pour la révolution africaine
