Abstract:
Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906–2001), Birago Diop (1906–1989) and Chinua Achebe (1931–) were among the first African intellectuals to make their fellow Africans aware of the riches of their oral literature and proud of their cultural treasures. The two francophone writers from Senegal were major figures of the Négritude movement, while the anglophone Nigerian became famous with , the best-known African novel of the last century. The aim of this essay is to show the importance of the impact of African orature in the creative writing of African authors despite the ostensible differences in their co

Abstract:
This paper explores the interplay between colonial and postcolonial spatial dynamics in African literature, focusing on both urban and rural landscapes. It investigates how Anglophone and Francophone African writers portray the intersection of historical and fictional settings, highlighting the influence of colonialism on African topography. By analyzing literary depictions of traditional versus dominant cultures, the study assesses the enduring colonial impact on African landscapes and its reflection in modern and contemporary sub-Saharan fiction.

Abstract:
The post-independence era in sub-Saharan Africa is characterized by progressive underdevelopment. From the 1960s till date no meaningful development has occurred, and all known development strategies that have so far been adopted have defied all logic. Accordingly, some social scientists and scholars of development theories have come to the sad conclusion that with respect to Africa, all development theories have hit the rocks (Chambua, 1994, p, 37). The implication is that in all spheres of human endeavour, Africa south of the Sahara has failed. The leadership problem is one of the plagues th

Portuguese archives contain a wealth of documents that are insufficiently utilized by, and often unknown to, historians of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century west Africa. Lusophone sources are crucial for the period of earliest contact between Europeans and West Africans.

Abstract:
Tanzanian Anglophone fiction is extant and bustling. The invisibility of Tanzanian fiction in English is not due to the country’s inability to produce good- quality Anglophone novels but is related to the challenge in accessing the texts both within and outside Tanzania. Studies about East African fiction tend to ignore the contribution of Tanzanian Anglophone writers in the region. In Tanzania people know more about other canonical African novelists than their very own Anglophone writers.

From the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) results, it was deduced that FDI has a long-run positive significant relationship with economic growth in the Anglophone region, but was not found statistically significant in the Francophone region. In addition, both regions exhibited an inverse relationship between FDI and GDP growth in the short run. From th

Abstract:
ABSTRACTFocusing on Black Francophone migrants in Cape Town, it is argued that a locally based Francophone identity has emerged in South Africa that questions the institutional discourse of La Francophonie as the organization of French-speaking states. The new identity has little to do with the organization's ideology of a transnational community of people united by a common language and culture. This is shown by deconstructing the category of passeurs de Francophonie (literally ‘smugglers of la Francophonie’ as practice) to which the organization assigns migrants in non-Francophone countries

The concept of the author has changed over time, along with the forms of media that have been used to circulate texts.

I explore the changes in both the academy's and the public's perceptions of literature in French, and examine how these perceptions are related to current understandings of migration, transnationalism, and "legitimate" cultural production.

Abstract Even in comparison to the extensive multilingualism on the African continent, the linguistic ecology of Cameroon is special.

To better understand the dynamics at work in Cameroon, this chapter presents a summary of existing literature on the unique linguistic situation of this Central African state, combining the findings of recent studies to for

Abstract It is now widely known that the assumption that African literature (as opposed to African literature in the European languages) began as a consequence of European influence is erroneous. Numerous typologies for a wide range of oral genres have been defined: panegyric and historical poems constituting the two major historical genres; proverbs and riddles making up two of the most important philosophical ones. Oral traditions undoubtedly represent the most significant source for much African literature in the European languages (most importantly francophone, anglophone, and lusophone).
