Book giveaway: celebrating 4,000 followers

By Africa in Words on 23 October , 2014 • ( 2 )

At the time of writing, we’re about to hit 4,000 followers across twitter, Facebook and wordpress, and the team at Africa in Words would like to thank you our readers, contributors and commentators for your support.

As a small gesture of thanks, we’re pleased to be giving away a copy of the fresh-minted Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s Kintu, thanks to the lovely people at Kwani?

‘This is the novel Uganda—and not just Buganda—has been waiting for. Here, history comes alive in such sensual and accurate detail. For many of us who draw a blank when seeking pre-colonial family histories, this multi-layered story makes us re-imagine, reclaim, and yes, re-live what has been lost.’

Doreen Baingana, author of Tropical Fish
