FOR SALE IN AFRICA ONLY Investigates what literary strategies
African writers adopt to convey the impact of climate
transformation and environmental change. This special issue
examines the ways fiction and poetry engage with environmental
consciousness, and how African literary criticism addresses the
implications of global environmental transformations. Does
environmentalist literature offer new possibilities for critical
thinking about the future? What constitutes environmentalist
fiction and poetry? What kind of texts, themes and topics does
climate writing include? Does any text in which the environment
features become available to environmentalist criticism? In their
engagement with the diverse genres, themes and frameworks through
which contemporary African writers address topics including
urbanisation, cross-species communication, nature and climate
change, contributors to this special issue help to define African
environmental writing. They look at the literary strategies adopted
by creative writers to convey the impact of environmental
transformationin narratives that are historically informed by a
century of colonialism, nationalist political activism,
urbanisation and postcolonial migration. How does environmental
literature intervene in these histories? Can creative writers, with
their powerfully post-human and cross-species imaginations, carry
out the ethical work demanded by contemporary climate science? From
Tanure Ojaide's and Helon Habila's attention to environmental
decimation in the Niger Delta through to Nnedi Okorafor's and Kofi
Anyidoho's imaginative cross-species encounters, the special issue
asks how literature mediates the specificities of climate change in
an era of global capitalism and technological transformation, and
what the limits of creative writing and literary criticism are as
tools for discussing environmental issues. Guest Editors: Cajetan
