Is there a chart for African literature? I mean REAL African literature, not merely people of african heritage or Europeans living in Africa or safe westernized stuff like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Every part of Africa is fine, I'm interested in having an expanse in my knowledge of their different cultures.

Bad place for this.
But if you are interested,
Wizard of the Crow
Devil on the Cross
The Fishermen
Taduno's Song
The Shadow of the Sun (written by a pole but very sympathetic and insightful)
and of course Achebe
inb4 infographics, monitoring thread for recs

Btw The Fishermen is one of the best pieces of contemporary lit ive read in years. Basically post-colonial Stand by Me
