South Africa's unique history has produced literatures in many
languages, in both oral and written forms, reflecting the diversity
in the cultural histories and experiences of its people. The
Cambridge History offers a comprehensive, multi-authored history of
South African literature in all eleven official languages (and more
minor ones) of the country, produced by a team of over forty
international experts, including contributors from all of the major
regions and language groups of South Africa. It will provide a
complete portrait of South Africa's literary production, organised
as a chronological history from the oral traditions existing before
colonial settlement, to the post-apartheid revision of the past. In
a field marked by controversy, this volume is more fully
representative than any existing account of South Africa's literary
history. It will make a unique contribution to Commonwealth,
international and postcolonial studies and serve as a definitive
reference work for decades to come.
