The fourth edition of the African Book Fair is under way in Paris, with Diaspora Travels as its theme. Cameroon and Brazil are the guests of honour during the three-day event, which brings together hundreds of authors, publishers and readers.

Founded by French artist Erick Monjour in 2021, the Salon du Livre Africain de Paris has become a key event on the city's cultural and literary calendar.
