Print Culture in Southern Africa is concerned with the institutions
and processes informing textual production, circulation and
consumption in the region, over a broad historical period from the
late 18th century to the present day. The book is organised around
three closely related themes. Firstly, it presents original
research into the formation of reading publics and the impact of
reading cultures, by uncovering obscure but important reading
communities and circuits of book distribution and reception. A
second theme is the relationship between print and politics, with a
particular focus on the networks of power: how control over the
production and circulation of printed books has shaped literary and
cultural development. The third theme is transnational print
culture, and how the control exercised by publishers in Europe and
America has shaped literature and society in southern Africa.
Drawing together interdisciplinary research and diverse
methodologies, the collection encompasses a range of perspectives,
including literary studies, anthropology, publishing studies, the
history of the book and art history, and many of the chapters are
based on previously unexamined archives and collections. The volume
contributes to current debates and opens up new and exciting ways
of furthering the study of postcolonial literature and African book
history. The chapters included in this book were originally
published in the Journal of Southern African Studies.
