Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa
Published in dual print and electronic formats, this is a new, substantially recast and fully updated edition of a bibliography published over ten years ago (previous edition published as "Publishing and Book Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Annotated Bibliography", London: Hans Zell Publishers/Bowker-Saur, 1996). Covering both print and online resources, it charts the growth of publishing and book development in the countries of Africa south of the Sahara, as well as including a very large number of entries on many other topics as they relate to books and reading in Africa. With almost 3,000 critically annotated citations, it is the definitive bibliography, and the most complete documentation resource on the current state of the book on the African continent.
The African Studies Companion
The book provides quick and easy access to a very wide range of information in the African studies field. It includes annotated listings of the major reference tools, current bibliographies and continuing sources, journals and magazines, major libraries, publishers with African studies lists, dealers and distributors of African studies materials, the major regional and international organizations, and it also identifies donor agencies and foundations active in Africa, and/or supporting research on Africa.

Africa's Media, Democracy and the Politics of Belonging
An overview of the press and mass media in Africa today and their contribution to democratization
Achebe Or Soyinka?
Nigerian novelist Omotoso delineates the contrast between the country's two most widely read writers, describing Wole Soyinka as a playful imagist steeped in the myth and magic of his Yoruba culture, and Chinua Achebe as expressing internalized Igbo cultural traditions. He discusses their differences in style, background, and vision within the context and contradictions of pan-African, Nigerian nation-state, and ethnic national agendas.

Africa Writes Back
This title looks at the story of African literature and its dissemination in the latter half of the 20th century.
African Scholarly Publishing
This work was conceived as a sequel to the African Writers Handbook (African Books Collective, 1999). It is built on the debates emanating from a seminar on scholarly publishing in Africa held in Arusha, Tanzania in 2002, organised by the Dag Hammarskj'ld Foundation, the African Books Collective and the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP). The seminar brought together scholars and publishers against a background of evidence of a revival of interest in higher education and scholarship in Africa after a long period of decline, and the new departures in scholarly publishing afforded by technology. This resulting collection of essays takes stock of the status of scholarly and academic publishing on the continent in the early years of the twenty-first century.
