We took our website "100 vägar till Afrika" offline March 22, 2018. Instead we refer to the freely downloadable full text version of the corresponding book (in Swedish only):

• 100 vägar till Afrika. En introduktion till modern afrikansk skönlitteratur External link, opens in new window. / Barbro Norström Ridæus, 2003.

The website from 2003 was based on the book mentioned above, published by The Nordic Africa Institute in 1995, and in a revised e-book edition 2003.
