In consultation with Sudanese writers and activists, I curated a #Sudanese Feminist Reading List as a feminist-focused complement to existing lists.

It was created to educate, inform, and inspire.

“[A] brilliant collection of essays in which Ellen van Neerven masterfully interrogates [soccer’s] relationship to the land, to First Nations, to tradition, to sexuality and to gender.”

We’re deeply saddened to hear that Maryse Conde has died. The Grande Dame of Caribbean literature, she was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize twice, in 2015 and 2023, and leaves behind an extraordinary body of work. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family.

So honored to be on this list with incredible writers I admire ❤️

If you want to explore feminist perspectives on Sudan, check out this Sudanese feminist reading list. Including fiction, non-fiction & journalism and more. Thanks for compiling and also for including Ghost Season!

This is such a thoughtful and informative project. Grateful for the initiative you took Karla J. Strand, DPhil, MLIS in creating this! As a diaspora Sudanese community, it’s rare to have such a handy resource so accessible. I can’t wait to read through it. 🩵
