Africa is at the heart of some of UNESCO’s greatest publishing projects.

Africa is at the heart of many of UNESCO’s most emblematic publishing projects. On the occasion of the week dedicated to it in June, explore a selection of essential works that highlight the continent’s cultural, historical, and social richness.
From illustrated publications to in-depth studies, each book sheds light on Africa’s heritage, knowledge, and creativity, inviting readers to better understand the dynamics that shape its societies past and present. These readings are valuable tools for reflection, knowledge sharing, and celebrating diversity.
By choosing your books from the official UNESCO Boutique, you directly support our programmes in education, culture, science, and international cooperation.
