This inaugural volume in the African Perspectives series features
the workof new and well-established scholars on the diversity and
heterogeneityof African newspapers published from 1880 through the
present.Newspapers played a critical role in spreading political
awareness amongreaders who were subject to European colonial rule,
often engaging inanticolonial and nationalist discourse or
popularizing support for Africannationalism and Pan-Africanism.
Newspapers also served as incubatorsof literary experimentation and
new and varied cultural communities. The contributors highlight the
actual practices of newspaper productionat different regional sites
and historical junctures, while also developinga set of
methodologies and theories of wider relevance to socialhistorians
and literary scholars. The first of four thematic
sections,“African Newspaper Networks,” considers the work of
newspapereditors and contributors in relating local events and
concerns to issuesaffecting others across the continent and beyond.
“Experiments withGenre” explores the literary culture of
newspapers that nurtured thedevelopment of new literary genres,
such as newspaper poetry, realistfiction, photoplays, and travel
writing in African languages and inEnglish. “Newspapers and Their
Publics” looks at the ways in whichAfrican newspapers fostered
the creation of new kinds of communitiesand served as networks for
public interaction, political and otherwise.The final section,
“Afterlives,” is about the longue durée of history
thatnewspapers helped to structure, and how, throughout the
twentiethcentury, print allowed contributors to view their writing
as material meantfor posterity.
