This is easy! Chinua Achebe is my answer. But in recent times it has to be Chimamanda Adichie. She is toeing his footpath.

Ngugi Wa Thiong'o has a beautiful style of telling his stories. I also enjoy reading Chinua Achebe's work.

I have not yet read Petals Of Blood, but I recently did The Wizard of The Crow and I found it brilliant as well. His takes on colonialism and neo-colonialism are always painful yet fascinating.

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is quite the read.

I enjoyed 3 of Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's novels as well as his nonfiction work; Decolonising the Mind. I also really enjoyed Stanlake Samkange's On Trial for My Country. My favorite American writers are Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Octavia Butler and Richard Wright for their fiction and James Baldwin for his essays.

I cant seem to choose one, from chimamanda ngozie to ngugi wa thiong'o to chinua achebe to Mejja mwangi. They are all so different in their writing, yet they highlight alot of what is happening to africa, whether its happening now or it happened during the colonial times

My two favourites are definitely James Baldwin and Chinua Achebe, for the passion and control in their writing styles.

I love Maya Angelou because I discovered her scribbled experiences and I learn from her.

Definitely Chunua Achebe!

His work brings the reader into a world that most Western writers haven't the life experience to recreate, and his writing talent further enriches the stories.

nicola yoon and angie thomas!! i dont research the authors of most books ive read so i dont know how many black authors ive read but these are the ones from the top of my head

I would choose Maya Angelou (her poem 'Caged Bird' still gives me goose bumps), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ('Purple Hibiscus' is a wonderful book) and Whole Soyinka (his plays are marvelous)

I would say, Kwame Alexander. Some of his famous books are Rebound and Crossover. His novels use the form of poetry to move the story along and it turned out to be a great book!

I love Chimamanda Adichie. She wrote half of a yellow sun. Such an interesting book

It has to be Dudu Busani-Dube. Her writing is relatable and brilliant. She has an innate ability to transport the reader to the setting that she describes in her books.

Tsitsi Dangarembga and Mariana Bâ I love them both. I love how they portrayed the injustice of a patriarchal society in such unique ways.
There's a lot more
