Description
The Africa Centre aims to promote positive awareness about Africa, and to help to empower the African diaspora in the UK, and to support Africa's development aspirations.
Over the years leading African artists, writers, politicians and musicians have met in the Africa Centre, been a source of inspiration to one another, and shared their visions of Africa with British people.
Collections description
The reference library contains over 170 contemporary publications (journals/magazines/newspapers) published in the UK, Africa and elsewhere; an assortment of historical, classical, political and art books concerning the culture and peoples of the African Continent; information and resource listings; and studying and photocopying facilities. If we do not have exactly what you are looking for, we will endeavour to point you in the right direction.
