This week, all the way from London we welcome @ramsrambles! Ramatoulie is a writer, producer and content creator with an ardent love for books and storytelling. Her platform is a place of critical thought, interpretation, as well as celebration for all things book-related. She has a particular affection for African and diasporic genres and literature, and has a talent for connecting themes explored in literature to real world matters. Ramatoulie invites readers and viewers to a world of thoughtful reviews, reflective commentary, earnest recommendations and various creative kinds of analysis. For us today she has complied a list of three must-read texts which all contribute to challenging colonial narratives and western perceptions of progress.
Here are her 3 must-reads:
- So Long a Letter by Mariama Ba
- The Perfect Nine: The Epic of Gikuyu and Mumbi by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o
- How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue
