Nothing can escape KANG revisionism. Not even Allah.

No. Writing is a non-African means of communication: writing done by africans is implicitly for outsiders, replicating their standards. African literature is just a couple a niggers making money by imitating dumb crackers

I don't know but I did read the memoir of a former child soldier in 8th grade for a book presentation project that I was 100% not ready for. Pretty graphic, vivid, and heartbreaking especially towards the end. If anyone's interested it's called A Long Way Home

Mayombe by Pepetela is an interesting read. Specially if you read The land of the end of the world by Antunes, this is a Portuguese author. Pepetela is Angolan.

A Long Way Gone. I had to read that for school also. A Long Way Home is the one about the adopted guy from India.

I guess Things Fall Apart- but compared to Western (or literally any other) literature it's kind of shit. Easy read though, and a fun story.
