2024-25 African Literature Book Group in French: Gaël Faye’s “Prix Goncourt des lycées” award-winning Petit pays.

The K-16 Education Outreach Program at the African Studies Center hosts an annual series of book group meetings wherein participants of all ages and backgrounds are invited to read and discuss engaging novels by African authors. We offer two ongoing book discussion groups: one focuses on African literature written in or translated to English, and another one focuses on African literature written in or translated to French, discussed in French. See the full list of books read over fifteen+ years here. Requirements: These programs are free and open to all. The majority of the discussions are held on Zoom. Participants must procure a copy of their own books.
