Between the 1880s and the 1940s, the region known as British West Africa became a dynamic zone of literary creativity and textual experimentation. This book offers a cultural history of this phenomenon, examining the array of anonymous and pseudonymous writing practices to be found in African-owned newspapers between the 1880s and the 1940s.
