This innovative study examines both Anglophone and lusophone African literature. Helgesson argues that the prevalence of ‘colonial’ languages in ‘postcolonial’ African literature is caused by the print network, demystifying their authority through the materiality of print, and placing emphasis on the strong transnational, transcontinental vectors of southern African literature.
