Feria Internacional del Libro de Zimbabue 2011
Casa África collaborates with the Zimbabwe International Book Fair together with the Spanish Embassy in that country, by sending copies of its Essay, Literature and History and Politics collections so that they can be displayed at the Embassy's stand.
The Zimbabwe International Book Fair has been traditionally considered as one of the largest and most important in Sub-Saharan Africa since it started at the beginning of the eighties. It attracts exhibitors from all over the continent and every year offers a great variety of books, magazines, CDs and technological services in printing and publishing.
Zimbabwe's literary sector is extremely rich and high level, although it generally lacks more or less permanent structures that allow a strengthening of writers' associations, book fairs and publishing industry soundness. Due to this, since 2010 the Spanish Embassy has taken part in this Book Fair, actively cooperating in hosting seminars and workshops on the future of the Zimbabwean literary sector. In 2010, the Spanish Embassy was the only accredited diplomatic representation in Harare to have a stand at the Book Fair, which shows its commitment to culture.
The Book Fair will be held this year in Harare from 25th to 30th July following a full program of activities.
