Online Bookstore + Literary Agency

Sankofa Books Store

Sankofa Books is rooted in the principle of Sankofa, celebrating the timeless wisdom and creative brilliance found within the written works of Black writers. Sankofa, meaning "to return and fetch," reminds us of the importance of embracing our past to shape a brighter future. At Sankofa Books, we embrace the Sankofa principle as we curate a collection that honors the legacies, stories, and cultural heritage of Black authors across the African Diaspora.
