All writing is translation. Some writers write in their mother tongue, others have to write in languages imposed on them by colonialism or the constraints of the marketplace. How does the dominance of European languages affect literatures from other continents? Chika Unigwe, Fiston Mwanza Mujila, and Mkuki Bgoya discuss the challenges and joys of working and living in several languages at the same time.
