Books speak for themselves, but often not loud enough to get our attention.
We hope to point you in the direction of a few good reads that don't make it
to the airport bookshop, the offerings of small presses( and big ones too)
that say something about who we are as a poeple, whether we live in Iceland
or Afghanistan.

Books promote understanding and dialog with those on the otherside of our
comfort zone, beyond the ideological divide.
The poets say that it all started with the word---but why stop there? You're
invited to get to the know the thoughts behind the work, as well as the
people who wrote them.

Presence Africaine
Established in 1947, this institution has done more to erase the slander of

world. It also brought those voices from distant shores
back home to Africa: The works of Richard Wright, Claude MacKay and Frantz
Fanon were published early on by Presence Africaine. With the death of it
founder, Alieuneno Diop, the administration of this dual publishing house and
bookstore was assumed by Christiane Yande Diop. The tradition lives on.
