The celebration for the 2020 BOP – Bologna Prize for the Best Children’s Publishers of the Year is a key part of the BCBF Online Special Edition. The BOP Prize is awarded each year to showcase editorial projects, professional skills and intellectual qualities of work from publishing houses all over the world. Let’s meet Mkuki na Nyota, nominee for AFRICA!
Mkuki na Nyota is a Tanzania based publishing house creating educational, scholarly/trade, children’s and art books in Tanzania and Eastern Africa for worldwide distribution.
Established in 1991, Mkuki na Nyota was a response to the general absence of high quality, independent publishing in Tanzania.
Mkuki na Nyota’s vision is to be a fiercely independent and vibrant Tanzanian imprint publishing relevant, progressive, liberating, affordable and entertaining content. Through its work Mkuki na Nyota continues to develop and encourage a culture of reading in Tanzania, as well as nurturing indigenous literature as a method of preserving and sharing stories.
