One might say that African literature is having a well-deserved moment right now. African authors have dominated the global literary prize circuits in the last couple of years with Abdulrazak Gurnah winning the Nobel, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr winning the Prix Goncourt while fellow Senegalese author David Diop took home the International Booker, Damon Galgut’s The Promise won the Man Booker where Nadifa Mohamed’s The Fortune Men was also shortlisted, just to list a few. And yet despite the immense diversity, vitality, and rich literary traditions of the continent, there is an appalling general absence of African literature in the classroom. Teaching African Literature hopes to be part of the concerted effort to change this. The site, in addition to offering an extensive catalogue of African literature published in the twentieth century, the site also offers resources, curated exhibits, and teaching guides for teachers, students, and scholars of African literature.
