This Element explores the mechanisms through which 'African literature', as a market category, has been consecrated within the global literary field. Drawing on archival, textual and field-based research, it proposes that the normative story of African literary writing has functioned to efface a broader material history of African literary production located on and oriented to the continent itself.

Industry Reviews

'... [Madhu Krishnan] makes a compelling argument for expanding and also questioning the dominant perspective of literary and book studies on canonization and African literature.' Dorit Neumann, Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universitaet
