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.…
