About

Sankofa is an Afrocentric Bookstore

Description

Sankofa is an Afrocentric Bookstore. One of the very few in all of Canada. And its main purpose is to bring forward the missing link, that of the story of the Nubian, Kemetic, Moorish and Afrikan story. A lot of times in the west, we are told one part of the story, well Sankofa offers the other part of the story to allow for a more complete picture. Sankofa is Swahili and it means “One Must Return to the Past in order to move forward” … So we have to know where we are coming from and through this journey we shall know balance.

Reviews
Visiting this bookstore was like discovering a new continent for me. Though it's a relatively small one, it has a lot of afro-pertinent books that you won't just find anywhere. The prices are a bit high but that just reflects the scarcity of such literature in Ottawa and the probable difficulty to make it available to the public.
I have an experience of more than three years coz i am a traveller around Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar.
