What is African Literature Reading?
My all-time favourite thing to do!📚
"African literature, the body of traditional oral and written
literatures in Afro-Asiatic and African languages together with works
written by Africans in European languages. Traditional written
literature, which is limited to a smaller geographic area than is oral
literature, is most characteristic of those sub-Saharan cultures that
have participated in the cultures of the Mediterranean. In particular,
there are written literatures in both Hausa and Arabic, created by the
scholars of what is now northern Nigeria, and the Somali people have
produced a traditional written literature. There are also works written
in Geʿez (Ethiopic) and Amharic, two of the languages of Ethiopia, which
is the one part of Africa where Christianity has been practiced long
enough to be considered traditional."
