ISBN10: 1909112763, ISBN13: 9781909112766, [publisher: Adonis & Abbey Publishers Ltd] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - We live in a world that sees and also contesting ideas of Eurocentrism in the interpretation of various issues, including African literatures and cultures. This book seeks to engage readers into a critical examination of the meaning, history, ambiguity, status and perceptions surrounding African languages and literature. It presents current shifts in form and practice surrounding regional, national, and 'postcolonial' models towards 'world literature' by focusing on African literature as a focal point for understanding perceptions of the world towards African languages and literature. The book shows the importance of wrestling with issues of global aftermaths of slavery, audience, readership, diasporic and transnational connections, as well as digital and social media without undermining the conflicts that literature presents in and on its own merit.
