This book is the first comprehensive introduction to the literature
of eSwatini. It details a literary trajectory that begins with
renditions of the country by early travelers and settlers and
follows with the emergence of a national literature that is marked
by early oral influences and molded by unique sociopolitical
interests. Along the way, the author considers how contemporary
writing by visitors, expatriates, and journalists have salvaged and
recycled earlier images and attitudes through a series of
representational and rhetorical practices. In particular, the
lingering influence of colonial discourse is explored in the
context of the nation's pivotal incwala ritual. A chapter on Hilda
Kuper that situates her fiction and drama between outsider and
insider accounts is followed by the final two chapters that trace
the development of anglophone and siSwati writing and identify
themes arising from the major literary genres produced by local
authors. The concluding section features a comprehensive registry
of writers, with brief summaries of their works.
