Welcome to Chikwenye's home page

I teach African, African-American, and Caribbean literature at Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, New York. I'm especially interested in the writings of black women throughout the diaspora.

My latest book, Africa Wo/man Palava (Publisher: University of Chicago Press) is just out.
