The book that develops this question: Philosophy in African Tales and Proverbs →An independent publishing house
Publishing books that move ideas across borders.
Merisphere was founded to give writers, researchers and thinkers from Africa and its diasporas a demanding editorial space in which their works, knowledge and debates can be published, read and discussed internationally.
Based in England and open to the world, the house publishes essays, humanities and social sciences, fiction, educational works and selected research. French is its founding language; English and Spanish editions form part of its international development.
