Cassava Republic is a response to the need for contemporary African prose/literature to be increasingly visible, accessible and published globally.
Established in 2006, by Bibi Bakare-Yusuf in Nigeria, Cassava Republic creates a repository, a body of contemporary work, a hub to network, leverage and for expression through literature rooted in the African experience.
Through ‘Cassava Press’ Bibi Bakare-Yusuf attempts to nourish the African diaspora imagination through literature, and challenging the stereotypes of African literature across Europe and the rest of the world.
