The International Frankfurt Book Fair which focussed on Latin America (1976), Sub-Saharan Africa (1980), India (1986), etc. has amply shown that in literature there are no "under-developed areas". However, good fiction from Africa, Asia and Latin America is not yet adequately represented on the German book market. Although quite a number of important books by authors from Africa, Asia and particularly Latin America have been translated into German, they are very often seen as something "exotic" or "foreign".
The Society for the Promotion of African, Asian and Latin American Literature was founded in Frankfurt in 1980. It is an association of professionals in the fields of publishing, journalism and literary studies and criticism. At the centre of our activities is a special
network of information for several hundred publishers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, in essence a shortlist of recommendable books (fiction and poetry) by authors from "Third World" countries; this shortlist is backed by reviews, written by competent experts. Thus we draw the attention of publishers to books which deserve a translation into German.
Since 1984 the Society is also administering a special programme of grants for translations into German of relevant books by African, Asian and Latin American authors; this programme is funded by the German Foreign Office and the Swiss cultural foundation PRO HELVETIA and allows for subsidies of about 20 translations per year.
In addition, the Society is publishing the quarterly "LiteraturNachrichten" (in German) with news, authors' portraits and analysis about literary and related events and developments with regard to the "Third World"; this quarterly, the only publication of its kind
in Germany, has developed into a useful source for editors in publishing houses and media alike.
Every two years we publish a catalogue "QUELLEN" (Sources) listing all fiction titles available on the German market which have been translated from languages of the "South".
Generally, the Society is seeking to promote a better understanding of creative writing from Africa, Asia and Latin America. We do so through a wide range of activities. Among them:

Agency for International and Intercultural Arts Projects
Our office was founded in 1982 as a department of the "Friends and Sponsors of Intercultural Relationships" association and was located in the international centre of the German adult education centre (VHS) in Duisburg until 1989. In 1990 it moved its headquarters to Essen and since then it has been registered and legally recognized as the non-profit organization "EXILE – Coordination of Cultures".
Our organization wants to present cultures from other parts of the world to the German public, with a particular focus on developing countries and on migrants residing in Germany. We also create, organize and set up exhibitions and other events that are related to intercultural topics.
Music, theater, literature, and the fine arts are especially well suited to providing an insight into other cultural perspectives and life experiences, which raise our sensibility for more conscious contact with both our own cultural environment and other cultures.
Our cooperation partners include the church and trade unions as well as a broad spectrum of individuals and organizations involved in intercultural, sociocultural, and educational domains as well as in development policy issues.
Many projects are carried out in cooperation with organizations such as Terre des Hommes, Amnesty International, TransFair, and institutions like the West German broadcasting service (WDR), the cultural office of North Rhine Westphalia, and the cultural and educational centres of local authorities. Much of our work is financially supported by the government of North Rhine Westphalia within the framework of the One-World-Promoter Program.
