Writing Namibia: Literature in Transition
Writing Namibia: Literature in Transition is a cornucopia of extraordinary and fascinating material which will be a rich resource for students, teachers and readers interested in Namibia. The text is wide ranging, defining literature in its broadest terms. In its multifaceted approach, the book covers many genres traditionally outside academic literary discourse and debate. The 22 chapters cover literature of all categories in Namibia since independence: written and performance poetry, praise poetry, Oshiwambo orature, drama, novels, autobiography, women’s writing, subaltern studies, literature in German, Ju|’hoansi and Otjiherero, children’s literature, Afrikaans fiction, story-telling through film, publishing, and the interface between literature and society. The inclusive approach is the book’s strength as it allows a wide range of subjects to be addressed, including those around gender, race and orature which have been conventionally silenced.

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.
