(Yaoundé, Cameroon: Editions Ifrikiya, 2021)
In this collection of articles, the author describes Werewere-Liking as “a multitalented artiste … a novelist, a poet, a playwright, a dancer, a choreographer, a painter, a movie maker, and a singer.” One of the first female Francophone writers of African literature, she has taught at the University of Abidjan in West Africa and other universities around the world.
In honor of the 30th anniversary of Village Ki-Yi, a school of arts founded by Werewere-Liking that trains mostly underprivileged children, scholars around the world shared articles on various aspects of Werewere-Liking’s multifaceted work, which are gathered in this book.
