READERS' CORNER

The Readers’ Corner is the Arthur R. Ashe, Jr. Foreign Policy Library’s book club that focuses on writers from the African World with a special emphasis on books highlighting social justice issues. The purpose of The Readers’ Corner is to provide a forum for its members to discuss and gain a better understanding of issues facing the African World.

The Readers’ Corner meets on the first Sunday of every other month from 3:30 to 5:30 pm.  The temporary location of the Readers' Corner can be obtained by contacting readerscorner@transafricaforum.org. The book selection each month of the Readers’ Corner focuses on a different region — Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas (North, Central & South).

If you have questions or are interested in joining The Readers’ Corner, send an email to readerscorner@transafricaforum.org (please include your name, your email address and your phone number), or call 202.223.1960 Ext. 137.
