Print, Text and Book Cultures in South Africa explores the power of
print and the politics of the book in South Africa from a range of
perspectives--historical, bibliographic, literary-critical,
sociological, and cultural studies. The essays collected here, by
leading international scholars, address a range of topics as varied
as: the role of print cultures in the colonial public sphere in the
nineteenth century; orthography; "iimbongi," orature and the canon;
book-collecting and libraries; print and transnationalism;
photocomics and other ephemera; censorship, during and after
apartheid; books about art and books "as "art; local academic
publishing; and the challenge of "book history" for literary and
cultural criticism in contemporary South Africa. "Book History" or
"Histories of the Book" has been an important and influential field
in European and North American scholarship for at least three
decades. This volume showcases the "History of the Book" within a
South African context and its significance in South Africa's
emerging studies of print culture.
