In Nigeria, literatures written in African languages, which boast many works but are published locally under difficult conditions, do not receive any publicity and are therefore little known outside their region of origin, except for those put on school curricula. This is where the pioneering work of Frances « Nkiru » W. Pritchett (1922-2012) comes in. From 1979 to 2012, this American lady created and developed, on the Columbia University website, quality pages dedicated to the translation of Igbo oral and written literature. This article, the only one dedicated to her work, presents these pages, analyses their content and demonstrates the importance of this presentation and translation work in the dissemination of Igbo literature and, beyond that, in the promotion of a return to the study of Igbo within the diaspora.
