Cassava Republic Press

An Imprint of Cassava Republic Press

Cassava Republic Press LogoCassava Republic Press is led by Publishing director, Bibi Bakare-Yusuf who launched the press in 2006. Their mission is to, “change the way we all think about African writing. We think that contemporary African prose should be rooted in African experience in all its diversity, whether set in filthy-yet-sexy megacities such as Lagos or Kinshasa, in little-known rural communities, in the recent past or indeed the near future. We also think the time has come to build a new body of African writing that links writers across different times and spaces.”
