Atonement by Ian McEwan and The Pickup by Nadine Gordimer are among the books shortlisted for the 2002 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.
Four international judging panels met to award the Best Book and Best First Book for their region - covering Africa, the Caribbean & Canada, Eurasia, and South East Asia & the South Pacific. These eight books are now shortlisted for the overall Best Book and Best First Book prizes. A distinguished pan-Commonwealth panel of judges will meet in Edinburgh in April to select the final winners for the 2002 Commonwealth Writers Prize.
Regional winners for the 2002 Commonwealth Writers Prize include:
BEST FIRST BOOK
Africa: Manu Herbstein - Ama A Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade (South African)(e-reads, USA)
The Commonwealth Writers Prize, established in 1987, is sponsored by the Commonwealth Foundation and administered by Booktrust.
The final pan-Commonwealth judging panel will be made up of the Chairpersons of each regional jury and chaired by The Rt. Rev. Richard Holloway, former Bishop of Edinburgh and current Chairman of Scottish Book Trust. The panel will meet in Edinburgh as part of a five-day programme hosted by Scottish Book Trust and the Commonwealth Foundation. The overall winners of the 2002 Commonwealth Writers Prize will be announced on 24 April 2002.
The site also considers contemporary issues which arise out of the experience of the Slave Trade, such as Racism and Reparations, the teaching of the Slave Trade in American schools and the debate over the extent of African participation in the Slave Trade.
The Web site should be a useful resource for readers who wish to test the authenticity of Ama’s story.
