CassavaRepublic Presswww.cassavarepublic.bizThis is what Cassava Republic Press' refreshingand engaging website have to say about theintecontinental brand:We set up Cassava Republic in 2006, after afew years of contemplation and planning.African writers were being increasinglypublished and read overseas, with littleknowledge or availability of this new wave oftalent in Nigeria. The conversation aboutAfrican writing was taking place elsewhere.Something had to be done.Seven years later, we are a small butestablished publishing brand, with a reputationfor bringing out high quality fiction and non-fiction for adults and children alike.Our mission is to change the way we all thinkabout African writing. We think thatcontemporary African prose should be rooted inAfrican experience in all its diversity, whetherset in filthy-yet-sexy megacities such as Lagosor Kinshasa, in little-known rural communities,in the recent past or indeed the near future. Wealso think the time has come to build a newbody of African writing that links writers acrossdifferent times and spaces.It's therefore the right time to ask challengingquestions of African writing - where have wecome from, where are we now, where are wegoing' Our role is to facilitate and participate inaddressing these questions, as our list grows.We are still just beginning.Good job, Cassava Republic.1 Bookcraft LimitedA friend of mine was saying the other day thatWole Soyinka must have bought a largerpercentage of Bookcraft Limited since thecompany publishes all of his latest titles.BOOKCRAFT has done well for themselves andthe publishing industry, providing upcomingpublishing houses the necessary template.Whatwe like about the company' If there is one thingwe are eulogizing the firm for, it is their taste ofquality which exudes in the packaging andpresentation of all of their titles.Established in Nigeria over twenty years ago,BOOKCRAFT has published a large number oftitles in a wide variety of subjects art;biography; history; literature; politics; currentaffairs; for a growing market of discerning,sophisticated and well educated bibliophiles.BOOKCRAFT has over the years established adistinctive presence in the book market, theuniquely-packaged, reader-friendly design ofour books, quickly becoming an instantlyrecognizable trademark.
