Extractions: analyzing works of African literature. When Chinuah Achebe wrote "Things Fall Apart" in 1958, few could have guessed that it would have such a tremendous impact and draw so much attention to its sociopolitical themes that the novel would be studied by students as far away as the United States in an era as distant as the 21st century. Yet the works of Achebe and many other African authors of the last one hundred or so years have not only made their way into mainstream literature...but into the forums of higher education as well. AfricanLit.Com serves not only as a tribute to these great authors from the "dark continent" but also as a database for essays, reports, and papers critically analyzing some of the genre's most commonly read works! If you're a student struggling to understand a piece of African literature assigned to you, use the " paper list " button on your left to browse a database of essays designed to help you understand... or write a term paper about the story you're reading! And if you can't find anything on the particular piece of African fiction YOU'RE writing about, just use the "

Feminist And Womanist Criticism Of African Literature: A Bibliography
Feminist and Womanist Criticism of african literature A Bibliography Bibliography of Feminist Criticism in French and English of african literatures.
http://www.indiana.edu/~librcsd/bib/verba/

Extractions: Sisi Maqagi, "Who Theorizes" Feminist criticism of African literatures is a steadily growing field. The following bibliography includes articles and essays in English and French which examine African literatures (fiction, poetry, drama and oral literature) from a feminist or womanist perspective. It does not include, unfortunately, criticism in other languages such as Wolof, Xhosa, Zulu, Portuguese, German, or Arabic due to my own inability to read those languages. Also, authors whose works are originally written in languages other than French or English, such as Ngugi wa Thiongo's plays and the novel, Devil on the Cross , and Nawal al Sa'dawi's works, may be under-represented in this bibliography, as criticism often tends to be written in the language of the work being addressed.

Mission Statement The mission of the Department of African Languages and Literature is to provide research and teaching in the areas of African languages, linguistics, literature, and oral traditions. This includes work on both graduate and undergraduate levels, and emphasizes the development and application of analytical and methodological tools that will enable students to work effectively and imaginatively in the four areas. The four areas are not considered mutually exclusive: the interconnections of these disciplines are studied closely and creatively. It is in the linkages among the disciplines that the Department makes its most significant and original contributions to knowledge. The Department's mission is also to produce graduate students who are capable of conducting original research and of providing teaching of quality in African languages, linguistics, oral traditions, and literature; students who will assure the future strength and health of these fields, who will carry our work to other institutions and countries. Through our teaching and our publications, we regularly inform and define, develop and give richness to our several disciplines, and so have a shaping influence on the field generally.

http://www.safrica.info/ess_info/sa_glance/culture/literature.htm

Extractions: Thomas Thale South Africa has had a rich history of literary output. Until relatively recently, realism dominated the production of fiction in South Africa - perhaps authors felt an overriding concern to capture the country's turbulent history and the experiences of its people. Fiction has been written in all of South Africa's 11 official languages - with a large body of work in Afrikaans, in particular - but this overview focuses primarily on English fiction, though it also touches on major poetic developments. The colonial adventure The first fictional works to emerge from South Africa were produced by immigrants who often felt alienated from the South African landscape - at the same time as they were fascinated by its often harsh beauty. These colonial writers were unsettled and intrigued by what they perceived to be exotic elements of indigenous cultures. Their attitude to indigenous South Africans was, at best, ambivalent, if not outright hostile. This is especially true of the writers of adventure-type stories, in which colonial heroes are romanticised and the role of black South Africans was reduced to that of enemy or servant.
