I see what you mean about
Just So Stories
.
What about Maryse Condé's
Segu</> and
Children of Segu
? (Mali and other parts of West Africa.
The Healers
- AyiKwei Armah (Ghana and the Asant Empire mid 1800's)
The African
- Harold Courlander (the novel Alex Haley plagerized for parts of
Roots
The Dahomeyan
- Frank Yerby (who also plagerized for this novel parts of Courlander's
African
.
Whitethorn
- Bryce Courtenay (Boer War)
There are so many set in Southern Africa in particular; for instance
Zulu Dawn
and
Zulu
- Cy Endfield, the first is both a novel and a movie.
Love, C.
