We’re still not at the point where we can say, unequivocally, that our potential vps know that Africa is a continent and not a country, but at least we have a local university president who is interested in bringing scholars and artists from all over said continent to our fair city. Brown’s Department of Africana Studies, along with The Office of The President, have kept esteemed novelist Ngügï wa Thiong’o in Providence for the better part of a week, hosting several forums for the community. Today at 6pm Professor Ngügï, as he likes to be called, will read from his sensational new book, The Wizard of the Crow. The reading, which takes place at 324 Brook St. in MacMillan Hall’s Starr Auditorium, is FREE and open to the public.
