@allthingsafrica_: 5 Books by African Authors That Will Decolonise Your Mind 📚🌍 This African Month, there’s no better place to start than with African writers who challenged the way the continent was written about, studied, and understood. From Kenya to Nigeria, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Algeria, these books confront colonialism beyond politics and borders. They examine language, identity, memory, power, education, and the psychological impact of empire. For decades, Africa was too often explained through colonial narratives and outsider perspectives. These authors responded with clarity, depth, and truth. They wrote African people as human beings with complexity, culture, conflict, humour, intelligence, and history. These are not books you rush through. They stay with you. They change how you think about the stories you inherited and the voices you were taught to trust. Have you read any of these books before? Let us know in the comments. If you haven’t, start here. 🖤 Like 💬 Comment 💾 Save 📲 Share #AllThingsAfrica #AfricanLiterature #AfricanBooks #DecoloniseTheMind #AfricanHistory
