Augustine, the African
Catherine Conybeare
A NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEAR
Longlisted for the 2026 Cundill History Prize
An extraordinary work of revisionist history that centers Africa in the life of one of our greatest philosophers: "Excellent, short, and highly readable.... Traces a grittier story of a life lived almost entirely in a small area of what is now eastern Algeria, where Augustine’s local origins and experience profoundly shaped both his life and his thought. Conybeare’s argument is that because of his contributions to the genres of philosophy, autobiography, and Christian theology, ‘a core strand of the culture that Europe claims as its own stems from Africa.” —Josephine Quinn, New York Review of Books
