Some works by women authors and poets are included in this chapter, "African Literature, " but they are covered more fully in "The Voice of Women." I n his Notes on the State of Virginia (Paris, 1784) Thomas Jefferson observed: "Never yet could I find that a black man had uttered a thought above the level of plain narration; never saw even an elementary trait of painting o r sculpture." Responding to this astonishing assertion, Ali A. Mazrui states: "As for Thomas Jefferson's belief that blacks were a people without poetry, black Ethiopians were writing poetry before Jefferson's ancestors in the British Isles were taught the La tin alphabet by the Romans" (see Ali Mazrui's article, "The Development of Modern Literature Since 1935," in Africa Since 1935 [Mazrui 1993], the eighth volume of the

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z African Literatures page: The treatment of same-sex relationships in African literatures has been influenced by the traditional belief systems of various African societies, the imported views of Christianity and Islam, and the political and legal legacies of European colonialism. The elusive yet universal force of sexuality appears in virtually all genres of literature, with its definition and expression determined by the interwoven threads of cultural mores and traditions, historical experiences unique to each land and century, and the intent of individual authors. The massive twentieth-century explosion of literature by African authors using Western literary forms offers an opportunity for the exploration of sexual attitudes. Sponsor Message. Any attempt to understand the treatment of homosexuality as a theme in modern African plays, poetry, and novels must take into account traditional views on same-sex relationships, the influence of the imported religions of Christianity and Islam, and the political and legal conditions faced by the authors, especially the legacy of colonialism. Traditional Views of Same-Sex Relationships Contrary to the claims of some scholarship, homosexuality was not an unknown behavior over much of the African continent before colonialism. The range of local opinion on the topic, however, varied considerably. In his landmark 1988 work

LITERATURE BRIEF HISTORY OF BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN LITERATURE The origins of Black South African literature in English lie in the Eastern Cape. The Glasgow Missionary Society founded the school of Lovedale at Alice in the Tyume valley in 1824 and here, and at similar mission schools subsequently established at places like Healdtown, Grahamstown and Umtata, English became the primary medium of instruction. The Society imported a printing press and began to produce their first publications, initially in Xhosa, such as an elementary spelling book, some hymns, and a small catechism. Their main literary task was the translation of the Bible into Xhosa - an event that had an important influence on subsequent writers whether they wrote in English or Xhosa. Newspapers played a highly significant role in the development of Black literature in the last century. They provided almost the sole outlet for the publication by Black writers of essays, letters, reprinted lectures and debates, obituaries and occasional reviews, which became standard literary forms. The most effective of these newspapers was John Tengo Jabavu 's Imvo Zabantsundu (founded in 1884). This was the first Black-owned and Black-run journal. Some of the first poems written in English by Black South Africans appeared in Imvo in the 1890s. Throughout the nineteenth century the mission schools produced a small number of Black students educated with European skills (literacy, languages, the classics and western mathematics). The discovery of diamonds and gold irrevocably transformed South African society and a new literature began to develop as a response to changing circumstances. The industrial towns needed literate Blacks to help in the mines as clerks, in the courts as interpreters and in other jobs such as teaching.

Ongoing Dialogues in African Literature by Yakubu Saaka and Leonard Podis Related Links: Faculty Observations Home Page Yakubu Saaka's Home Page Leonard Podis' Home Page J ANUARY Looking at the scholarly title of this piece, readers probably assume that we have always known we would turn out to be specialists in African literature. However, that is far from true. In fact, one of us is a scholar of African politics with a doctorate in political science, and the other is a professor of rhetoric with a Ph.D. in American literature. So how did we wind up collaborating as teachers and scholars of modern Anglophone African literature? One day in 1986 after a lunchtime tennis match, as we were heading back to our offices, we casually began to discuss the idea of applying to teach in the Danenberg Oberlin-in-London Program. Conferring with some colleagues back in Rice Hall, we thought that a collaboration in Commonwealth literature would make a great deal of sense. Although literature had customarily been taught from a formalist perspectiveemphasizing the ways in which its aesthetic constitution distinguished it as high artwe were keen to focus on some of the more contextual aspects of literature, to contemplate it as a reflection of the culture in which it was created. At that time, Commonwealth writers were engaged in a period of impressive productivity, and critics around the world were beginning to recognize the value of their output.

At this point, I have trouble imagining the program without them, especially given the nature of our studies. They made the practical application of what we were studying far easier to grasp. In discussions about cultural heritage and preservation, I really felt as though it was not my place to speak, but to listen carefully. Similarly, with the African Literature presentations, they added another dimension to the material, making connections to their own (and our own) lives in Yoff. To be honest, at this point, I have trouble looking at the Senegalese students on the whole as I now know everyone involved in the course as individuals and can pinpoint how each person, regardless of nationality, enriched my time here and those quirky characteristics I have come to appreciate…but making generalizations is a bit tricky. I have learned that there exists a tenuous balance between highlighting our differences and letting us just be as a group. I will say that the Nder fieldwork just simply could not have been nearly as successful as it was, or maybe taken place at all, without the Senegalese students. Their role went far beyond that of translators; I would speculate that the villagers, in observing the level of familiarity that existed between the “toubabs” and Senegalese, were able to see that we weren’t as foreign as we may have appeared. I also felt as though Nder, more so than Yoff, was conducive to strengthening the group on a whole. For the first time, we were all out of comfort zones, leading lives that were different from those in Yoff, and making the adjustment to Nder life became a collective process.

98. Children's Literature Features an introduction to african children's literature, authors, bibliography, and links. http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/cm/africana/children.htm

African Children's Literature by Lillian Temu Osaki Introduction Children's authors treated on this web site A few links to other web pages on African children's literature Works cited ... Other African Children's Literature Authors Available At UF Libraries Introduction What do we mean by "African children's literature"? A quick definition is "literature written for African children by African authors either in the vernacular or in a foreign language" (Meniru 1992:43). This simple definition failed me as I began researching the biographies of authors whose books I had selected, read, and appreciated as suitable for African children. Some of these books e.g. Who's in Rabbit's House? A Maasai tale retold Why Mosquitoes buzz in peoples ears: A West African tale retold Tales of Temba; and Kyekyekulee, Grandmothers tales) were written by non-African authors. Verna Aardema, Peggy Appiah, and Kathleen Arnott are not Africans, but does the ethnic origin of an author disqualify her books as culturally African? The purpose of this web page is to introduce scholars interested in African children's literature to a variety of material that is available for research in this area. I hope that what I have gathered here will serve as a useful starting point to anyone else interested in studying or doing research in African children's literature.
