| adam_text | About the Book
African Lives, a pioneering anthology of memoirs and autobiographical
writings, lets the people of Africa speak for themselves
—
telling stories of
struggle and achievement that have the authenticity of lived experience.
The anthology presents selections from the work of many of Africa s
finest writers and most significant personalities from across the continent
and spanning several centuries. Enhancing the material, Geoff Wisner s in¬
troduction and biographical notes provide important context for the selec¬
tions and also highlight the challenges that
African
memoirs pose to the
preconceptions of Western readers. The result is a book that is both an ab¬
sorbing read and a valuable resource for courses on Africa.
Geoff Wisner is author of A Basket of Leaves:
99
Boob That Capture the
Spirit of Africa.
