per·e·gri·nate

verbLatin: peregrinus
\ˈpe-rə-grə-ˌnāt\
  1. to travel or wander from place to place.

Peregrine Press is named not only after the falcon renowned for its speed and migratory habits, but also after the verb peregrinate, which means to travel from place to place. Our carefully translated works make a journey of their own, from one language into another.

Cultural peregrination, in the form of storytelling, can work as a bridge between continents. We strive to create a direct route for African literature to reach global readers, with a focus on authentic storytelling and artistic excellence.

Our Mission

Our passion is sharing Africa’s literary richness in translation — from histories and poetry to vibrant fiction and short stories. We champion linguistic diversity, cultural dialogue, and literature as a conduit for global empathy.
