What should I read to learn more about philosophy by African authors?

I can't find a good list of works for someone who's read any philosophy by African authors.   Which writings make up a good starting point for new readers?

Depending on your philosophical bent, Frantz Fanon can be indispensable: born in Martinique and educated in Paris, he joined the Algerian revolution and wrote (after *Black Skin, White Masks*) *A Dying Colonialism* and *Wretched of the Earth*. The former is entirely focused on the colonial situation during the war while the second is a Hegelian treatment of the process of decolonization as a whole. His oeuvre as a whole is critical to understanding the development of pan-Africanism.
