| Description: | A few years back, in a special issue of Granta, the Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina (2005) wrote a bitterly ironic essay entitled “How to Write about Africa.” Wainaina explains that the author who writes about Africa and aspires to global circulation should always use words such as darkness or safari in the title, and that subtitles succeed if they include words like Zanzibar, Masai, primordial, or tribal. After further elaboration, he adds a list of what not to write about: “Taboo subjects: ordinary domestic scenes, love between Africans (unless a death is involved)” |
