We wrap up this month’s focus on folktales in modern African literature with Queen Pokou Concerto For A Sacrifice, Veronique Tadjo’s award winning retelling and analysis of the story of Abraha Pokou, Princess of the Ashanti (Ghana) and founding mother of the Baoule (Ivory Coast).
We will definitely revisit this topic again because I want to talk about folklore in Kintu by Jennifer Makumbi, The Fetishists: The Tuareg Epic by Ibrahim al-Koni, and a few others!
