| Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-07 00:00:00 Al Gre On my birthday in 2017, my mum and stepfather gave me this tome of 400+ pages. My husband and I were set to get married and move to Tanzania three months later, which we did! It is only now that I've got round to reading this wonderful book. In 2007, Women Writing Africa: The Eastern Region was published. It forms part of a project entitled The Women Writing Africa Project. The reason behind the Women Writing Africa Project? A group of of academics wanted to open up worlds too often excluded from history books. This third volume took more than a decade to make. It collects more than a hundred texts dating back to 1711 all the way to 2004. The five countries represented are Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. Tanganyika (in 1964,Tanganyika united with independent Zanzibar to form Tanzania) gained independence in 1961, Uganda in 1962, Kenya and Zanzibar in 1963 and Malawi and Zambia in 1964. |
