Reading my way through the continent

When I started my journey as an HCI-NLP researcher working on African languages, I met other Africans from all over the continent. In our conversations or in reading about their languages and communities, I was struck by how similar we are on some things and how drastically different we are on others. I wanted to better understand the lives of other Africans. So I started a personal project: I set out to read a book from each African country with a strong preference for women authors. In this blog, I will list the books I have read so far and keep updating the list as I add more books to my collection.
