Carl Schlettwein Lecture
Dr. h.c. Carl Schlettwein (1925−2005), founder of the Basler Afrika Bibliographien, played an important role in the development of African Studies in Basel. The annual Carl Schlettwein Lecture, held by internationally recognised researchers at the Centre for African Studies Basel’s invitation, is a contribution in memory and honour of the generous and far-sighted patron. Since 2016, the BAB Publishing House publishes each presentation.
