For a long time, and seen from the West, the book world was structured around a certain number of dominant languages in major Western urban centres. In recent years, however, other literary scenes around the world have sprung up around publishing houses and publications in various languages, reaching out to other audiences. We explore these literary riches in Kenya, with writer Mikhail Iossel; in Patagonia, with mapuche poet and cultural activist Liliana Ancalao (with interpreter Cynthia Rodriguez); in Marroco, with Younès Ajarraï, délégué général du Festival du livre africain de Marrakech; and in Zimbabwe with author and former foreign correspondant Peter Godwin. Kenyan cultural journalist Gloriah Amondi will moderate this panel.
