African Book Festival: Freedom to Write. Freedom to Be Free Panel

Panelists: Tendai Huchu, Haji Jabir, Laila Lalami
Moderation: Edwige-Renée Dro

Literature breaks taboos. Literature empowers. Literature is persecuted. Literature is a beacon of hope. In the face of oppression and censorship, how much power does the writer have and how can they navigate the dangers of putting themselves at risk while working towards the liberation of their people and their craft.
