## Description

African Books Collective (ABC) is a unique, non-profit organization that serves as a global marketing and distribution hub for African literature. Established in 1985 by a group of pioneering publishers, ABC was created to address challenges in disseminating scholarly, literary, and children's books from Africa. The collective now boasts a diverse catalog, offering a wide range of genres, including African culture, politics, history, and languages, all available through their website, readafricanbooks.com.

ABC is owned by its founding publishers, who elect a management council to oversee strategy and representation in the publishing realm. This innovative collective has embraced digital publishing, enhancing access to African cultural works through e-books and a commitment to economic empowerment for its member publishers. With partnerships spanning multiple African countries and a focus on promoting African voices, ABC plays an essential role in enriching the global literary landscape while fostering educational opportunities.
