African Literature in Transition: Volume 3 - Print Cultures and African Literature, 1860–1960

Über den Autor / die Autorin

Stephanie Newell is George M. Bodman Professor of Literature at Yale University. Her publications on West African print cultures address topics such as sexuality and gender, African readerships, authorial anonymity, epistolarity, and how to think about multicultural literary networks and encounters in colonial contexts. Her research on colonial-era African newspapers has introduced new methodologies and frameworks for thinking about newsprint creativity.Karin Barber is Emeritus Professor of African Cultural Anthropology at the University of Birmingham and Visiting Professor in Anthropology at the LSE. Her research focuses on Yoruba oral literature, popular theatre and print culture, and more broadly the comparative study of popular culture and textual production across Africa. Her prize-winning book 'Print Culture and the First Yoruba Novel' (2012) helped to inaugurate a new wave of interest in African-language print culture.
