Contents: Oral Literature; Rise of Written Literatures in African Languages; Literature in Fula; Literatures in the Mande & Neighbouring Languages; Akan Folk Literature & Beginnings of Writing in Twi; Yoruba Literature; Literature in the Hausa Language; Writing & Literature in Classical Ethiopic (Giiz); Ethiopian Literature in Amharic; Somali Literature; Literatures in Cushitic Languages Other Than Somali; Malagasy Literature in Madagascar; Literature in Swahili; Zulu Oral Tradition & Literature; Xhosa Oral & Literary Traditions; Southern Sotho Literature; Tswana Literature; Oral Literature of the San & Related Peoples. -- This is one of the most foundational and wide-ranging scholarly treatments of African language literatures, oral and written, published in the late 20th century. Addressing a critical void in literary studies, the book draws attention to the vitality, complexity, and socio-political significance of creative expression in African languages, which have historically been overshadowed by the dominance of colonial and postcolonial writing in European tongues. Organised around detailed surveys - ranging from Swahili and Somali to Zulu, Malagasy, and Tswana - it combines philological analysis with cultural historiography, offering readers a uniquely comparative, multilingual perspective. The introduction situates these literatures within the larger framework of African linguistic diversity, pointing out that languages like Yoruba, Oromo, and Luo are as distant from one another as English is from Basque. The guiding premise is clear: that oral and written forms deserve equal scholarly attention, and that literary production must be examined in tandem with its historical, ideological, and performative contexts. Key chapters include Andrzejewski's critical assessment of oral literature collection methodologies, emphasizing the need to evaluate genres within their indigenous hierarchies of value. In his study of Somali literature, he further highlights the transformative power of mass media - radio, cassette tapes, performance - as tools for preserving and reshaping poetic tradition. Equally nuanced is Joanna Mantel-Niecko's account of Amharic writing post-1941, charting its role in the forging of a modern Ethiopian literary identity under shifting regimes. Other contributions grapple directly with the entanglement of literature and power. The chapter on Malagasy literature offers a sharp analysis of how colonial repression shaped language hierarchies and literary exclusion, while Harold Scheub's reflections on Zulu and Xhosa literatures confront the legacies of apartheid and the tension between traditional narrative forms and state-driven publishing agendas. The book also explores Islamic influence in Hausa poetic genres, Yoruba ritual aesthetics in theatre, and the national role of Twi and Swahili as carriers of cultural modernity. The diversity of approaches - ranging from stylistic analysis to ethnographic contextualisation - emerges as a strength. Recurring themes such as the oral-to-written continuum, generational tensions, and literature's function as ideological critique underscore the enduring relevance of these traditions in modern African society. Richly annotated and intellectually ambitious, this volume remains a crucial scholarly resource for students and researchers of African studies, comparative literature, linguistics, and postcolonial theory. Its call for a revaluation of African-language literatures is more urgent than ever in a globalising world still negotiating whose voices count, and whose languages are heard.

Paperback. Condition: New. Although African literatures in English and French are widely known outside Africa, those in the African languages themselves have not received comparable attention. In this book a number have been selected for survey by fourteen specialist writers, providing the reader with an introduction to this ver…y wide field and a body of reference material which includes extensive bibliographies and biographical information on African authors. Theoretical issues such as genre divisions are discussed in the essays and the historical, social and political forces at work in the creation and reception of African literature are examined. Literature is treated as an art whose medium is language, so that both the oral and written forms are encompassed. This book will be of value not only to readers concerned with the cultures of Africa but to all those with an interest in the literary phenomena of the world in general.
