This Element is for anyone interested in the processes of canon-formation, world literatures in general and African literature in particular. It offers a fresh and exciting perspective on canon-formation and contestation that draws on original archival and field research.

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.
