This site is dedicated to studies in African literature and culture, and the propagation of African thought and aesthetic. For years this IRCALC initiative has given impetus for the emergence of rich and scholarly publications on African cultural expressions.

Mission and Purpose      
To further the imaginative approach to Africa's leadership and development concerns through providing an online network for independent discourse on Africa's literatures and cultures, not excluding, indeed, other writings of Black Diaspora that lend meaning and support to this African vision.
