🇬🇦Gabon

Angèle Rawiri examines marriage, pressure to become a mother and women’s independence. Justine Mintsa centres related questions on Awu and Fang customs. Bessora and Barroux’s graphic novel follows the migration route from Abidjan to Paris; Bessora has Gabonese heritage. These provide three different approaches to literature connected with Gabon, with verified English translations. The selection also includes Daniel Mengara’s Mema and his edited essay collection Images of Africa, on representations of the continent; the latter provides critical context rather than a novel about Gabon.
