Why aren’t Africans writing more of their own stories?
Zimbabwe’s Arthur Mutambara says too often African stories are told by Europeans
Zimbabwe’s former Deputy Prime Minister, Arthur Mutambara, thinks more Africans should be putting their experiences on paper.
He says too often Africa’s stories and history are told by Europeans.
Mr. Mutambara is on a mission to shape the continent's literary narrative. He has just released ‘In Search of the Elusive Zimbabwean Dream: An Autobiography of Thought Leadership, Volume I'.
