African Writes: Africa in Translation - 03.07.15

Contributor: Bilen Shifferaw,
Africa Writes, The Royal African Society's annual literature and book festival in association with The British Library, returns for a third year.
Africa in Translation: What’s Love got to do with it?
Our annual translation symposium this year focuses on Love, taking Ankara Press’s ground-breaking Valentine’s Day Anthology of African Romance as a starting point. Digitally launched by the new romance imprint on the auspicious date of 14 February 2015, all of the short stories in the anthology were translated into languages associated with the African writers, resulting in the text being published in eight different languages.
Curated by Wangui wa Goro of SIDENSI, this symposium will dispel myths about Africans and romance, and discuss the value and impact of translation in contemporary African literature.
