Mohammed Umar

Mohammed Umar is the author of the novel Amina, a moving story of a northern Nigerian woman who challenges the restrictions of the life she is born into, and in so doing helps to bring about change for more than just herself. The book has been credited for skilfully exploring issues around faith, identity and social norms through the book's central character. A resident of London, Umar writes with conviction born from his experience and knowledge of Nigeria. Published by Africa World Press, the book has been translated into over sixteen world languages.
