Overview of class
In this course we will study the foundations of African literature in the print era, beginning with the missionary press era, and the seminal novel Chaka by Thomas Mofolo. We will make our way through some of the literary highlights of the modern era in Africa by turning to various novels and short stories from the independence era, eventually reading contemporary texts from Africa in an effort to track the development of African literary studies.
