"The City in African Literature: The Rural-Urban Contradiction and the Individual vs. The Communal Ethic" explores the social, economic and cultural phenomena. It discusses the effects of urbanization and its impact on African society, through the novels of four African authors. It treats particular issues related to conflict and cultural values, corruption in society and the predicament of women. These issues are looked at through selected works of four authors. My first chapter, "Peter Abraham's City: Cauldron of Oppression," focuses on the oppression of Peter Abrahams' characters in a multi-racial city, where life is depicted in tragic overtones. Abrahams not only discusses the issue of oppression, but also the issue of the rural-urban contradiction. He sees Malay camp, an African ghetto of Johannesburg, as a place where the individual ethic and communal ethic are dominating areas of strain for both individual and society. Peter Abrahams, the only writer I chose who portrays the industrialized city in Africa, is vocal about the plight of workers and African people in general under an oppressive white regime. He contrasts Malay Camp to Johannesburg (or more particularly, its white suburbs). He shows that in Malay Camp people are always destroyed by the system that exists in the city, a system characterized by oppression, police brutality, and discrimination. Abrahams chronicles the transformation of a rural character, Xuma, who comes to the city for work, and who finds himself in dynamic interaction with the life of the city. It is clear that Abrahams sees the city as vice, as a place of misery where people at night down their sorrows in music, song, and alcohol. My second chapter, titled "Ooze, Clamminess, Slime, Lubricity: Corruption of the City in Ayi Kwei Armah's "The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born," focuses on Armah's use of symbolism to portray political and cultural decay in Accra. But this city can be any post-colonial city in Africa. Interestingly, Armah reverses the original concept of the individual versus the communal ethic. In his view of the city, he sees the individual as more progressive than the community, whose ethic is corruption. Armah also gives the perfect presentation of the overcrowded African city, where corruption is as rampant as dirt. Dirt and cleanliness are not used merely as decorative motifs, but as symbols that reinforce his theme of corruption. Armah, like most city writers, measures corruption in terms of speed. Koomson, the corrupt politician in the novel, learns to drive, an indication that he is corrupt, and leaps to success. His fall from grace, in the reverse, is just as precipitous. Not only is it a reverse leap, but the corrupt politician must learn to crawl. My third chapter focuses on "The African Woman in the City: the Whore and the Victim." In this chapter, using both thematic and feminist criticism, I decided to do a study of the city and how men portray women in the city and how women portray themselves. Cyprian Ekwensi, concerns himelf, with the political and social episodes that center around his protagonist, Jagua Nana. Jagua is seen as a blend of Moll Flanders and Emile Zola's Nana. To this male writer the African woman in the city is "loose and immoral." To him the city is a male entity and women only come to it to play a sexual role. In The Joys of Motherhood, Buchi Emecheta gives the reader a female writers point of view. Her treatment of women parallels that of Paule Marshall's Browngirl, Brownstones. Actually, there is a distinctive role reversal in both books. The men are not weak, the women are just overpowering. Both must assume the responsibility of heading their households. These role reversals are ultimately blamed on the city. Nnu Ego is the only character in the novels I use who lives in the city, but who does not adopt city values and the fact that there was an organization in the city that guarded her village customs helped her even more. It is these values that make her suffer at the hands of her husband Nnaife. But she believes that by working for her children she will have an easier life in the future. She does not anticipate, however, that because her children grow up in the city, they will, adopt city values rather than the village values that guide her own beliefs and behavior. Her children, in whom she has invested all hopes for a comfortable future, alienate themselves from her by choosing to live their lives independently of her. They choose to lead their lives in such a way that she is left all alone. These are the kinds of contradictions that the African writers address in their writings about the city.

Towards Comprehensive Histories of African Literature

Roger Blench

For such a large region of the world, Africa generally has a poor showing in fiction, both in literary works and in popular novels. It is typically known to many readers by the brutalist thrillers of Wilbur Smith or the comic misrepresentations of Evelyn Waugh. African writers who have had popular success are few and far between, and mostly, such as those Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, are written from the safe perspective of expatriates. If you know and like Africa, this is disappointing, the experiencing is well worth committing to an imaginative framework. What is worse, however, is that ‘serious’ writers who have featured Africa in their novels, such as Greene, Hemingway, Bellow and Updike, treat it with the utmost triviality. Either they recount their visits to kill animals, or they don’t bother to visit at all. The focus is entirely on the white expatriates, with Africans playing only walk-on parts, like the foil in a Platonic dialogue. We might quarrel with the characterisation of Asian characters in Forster’s A Passage to India or Orwell’s Burmese Days but they play an integral role in the narrative. It seemed perfectly acceptable for these writers that Africa simply be the focus of their fictions, freighted with implausible names and inexplicable motivations. It is striking, however, that some of the popular writers who have featured African settings, are far better at giving a flavour of life on the continent. Their African characters appear to have a life of their own, rather than being simply backdrop to the existential angst of a white expatriate. Nearly all the popular writers spent considerable fractions of their personal life in Africa and this is evident from their descriptions. It suggests a paradox, that literary writers, who lurk in university courses and incomprehensible interpretations of modern literary critics are in many ways the worse novelists, unable to depict the world in which their fables are set with any type veracity.

Issah Tikumah

This paper attempts to trace the various vicissitudes of the evolution and development of African Literature: from oral literature, through pre-colonial literature, colonial literature, to post-colonial literature. African literature is defined as ‘literature of and from Africa’. However, though cursory reference is made to non-English African literatures as well, the focus of this paper is literature of English ‘black Africa’. A special page is devoted to African-American literature because of its unique historical position in the development of African literature. The foundations of modern African literature as an intellectual ‘school’ are traced back to the middle of the 18th century. Modern African literature emerged as a resistance platform, an instrument of struggle against oppression and exploitation. Unfortunately, more than a couple of centuries on, African literature is still faced with formidable challenges, including lack of freedom of expression imposed by political authoritarianism and socio-cultural reactionarism. Even though a great deal of achievement has been recorded since its inception in the 18th century, African literature still has a long way to go in the struggle to fulfill its mission to foster socio-political justice and true liberty for the common people of Africa.

THIS PAPER EXPLAINS ABOUT AFRICAN LITERATURE BASING ON ITS ELEMENTS ITH THE DISCREPANCY FROM OTHER LITERATURE IN THE WORLD

Amechi Akwanya

The criticism of African literature awakened and grew by means of controversy during the 1970s and 1980s, with some of the critics taking the view that African literature can only competently be addressed by African critics, as if being an African provided one a special key to these literary artefacts. The prejudice in this is that what one studies is not literature, but Africanness, or what some call ‘the African experience’; and it has led to constructing instrument of analysis which are incapable of uncovering the literary qualities of the works. This has a negative effect on the literary tradition itself since it encourages the production of works displaying the features the critics have called African. This paper argues that the entire tradition – the literature, the criticism, and the literary theory – needs to connect to and stay engaged with other literary traditions of the world in dialogue, highlighting the fact that they are all things of the same kind.

Andrew Barnett

Africa is always a fascinating area to discuss. The history, political structures, art, literature (oral as well as written), values, religions, traditions, and so on are all popular issues of debate. We always hear the Western perspective of what African history essentially is or you might see an academic journal entry done by some anthropologist analyzing African culture. It has been a rare occasion for African literature to impact the conventional literary scene; however, Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart received great reviews from Western critics and is taught to many high school students nationwide in the United States. This belief promotes the false assumption that African literature is recent phenomena or a newborn infant compared to the classical texts of European history. What has yet to be made clear to the Western audience is a true perception of what authentic African literature essentially is. When do we ever hear the voice of the African scholar? The voice of the authentic Africa has been visible for thousands of years, but ignored and shunned by European academics. African authors like Ayi Kwei Armah, Okot p’Bitek, Wole Soyinka, Dambisa Moyo, Théophile Obenga, as well as European historian Adam Hochschild have composed fictional as well as factual narratives highlighting the voice of a people who has been and continues to be oppressed to present day. Within this paper we will discuss the many false assumptions of what African literature truly is, we will highlight the thematic as well as stylistic issues that the African author faces in our contemporary world today, and finally we will discuss the true vision of the African author and righteous Western critic providing the correct lens to analysis this art form.

In conclusion, African literature, both ancient and contemporary, offers a vast landscape for literary exploration. African literature research paper topics listed above merely scratch the surface but provide a foundational starting point for students seeking to delve into the diverse narratives that the continent has to offer.

The Range of African Literature Research Paper Topics

African literature is an expansive and rich domain that encompasses the voices of many nations, cultures, and histories. From the oral traditions that echo the continent’s ancient roots to the vibrant modern narratives confronting contemporary issues, African literature offers an astounding range of topics for research and exploration. This article dives deep into the heart of African literature, illuminating its vast expanse and highlighting the numerous research paper topics it presents.

Historical Roots and Oral Traditions

The African continent, often referred to as the cradle of humankind, has a literary tradition that predates written records. Long before colonization and the introduction of the Latin alphabet, stories, values, beliefs, and histories were passed down orally from one generation to the next. These oral traditions, which include proverbs, myths, legends, and songs, form an integral part of the continent’s cultural fabric. African literature research paper topics could delve into how these oral narratives have influenced modern African literature, or how they have been adapted and translated into written form.

Colonial and Post-colonial Narratives

Colonization, a significant chapter in African history, has left an indelible mark on its literature. Writers from various African nations have used their works to comment on, critique, and confront the horrors of colonial rule. Post-colonial literature, in particular, offers insights into the struggles of nations grappling with the legacies of colonization, including issues of identity, cultural erosion, and the search for post-independence national narratives. Exploring the differences and commonalities in post-colonial narratives across different African countries can provide a deeper understanding of the continent’s shared and diverse histories.

The Power of Language

One of the striking aspects of African literature is its linguistic diversity. With over 2000 languages spoken across the continent, African writers often grapple with the choice of language for their narratives. While many choose to write in colonial languages like English, French, or Portuguese, others opt for indigenous languages, ensuring the preservation and elevation of local dialects. This linguistic diversity can be a focal point for research, exploring African literature research paper topics like the politics of language, the influence of bilingualism on narrative techniques, and the challenges and opportunities of translating African works for global audiences.

Thematic Evolution in Contemporary Narratives

Modern African literature reflects the rapidly changing socio-political landscape of the continent. Themes that were once taboo, such as urbanization, environmental concerns, and technological advancements, are now finding their way into the narratives. These themes present fresh avenues for research, allowing scholars to investigate how African literature is evolving to encompass a broader range of human experiences and concerns.

Women in African Literature

The voices of African women, once marginalized, have come to the forefront in recent decades. Authors like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Tsitsi Dangarembga, and Mariama Bâ, among others, have illuminated the specific struggles, triumphs, and daily lives of African women. Their narratives challenge patriarchal norms, explore intersectional identities, and redefine feminism in an African context. Given the pivotal role that these authors play in reshaping African literature, numerous African literature research paper topics can center on the portrayal of women, the themes they address, and the stylistic innovations they bring to the table.

Afrofuturism and Speculative Fiction

The rise of Afrofuturism has been one of the most exciting developments in African literature. By imagining future landscapes and blending African mythologies with speculative elements, writers like Nnedi Okorafor and Tade Thompson offer fresh perspectives on the continent’s past, present, and future. This genre, with its unique blend of traditional and futuristic narratives, offers fertile ground for research, inviting explorations into how African authors envision the continent’s future and how they integrate indigenous myths into futuristic settings.

African literature, with its rich tapestry of voices, themes, and narratives, is a treasure trove for literary researchers. Whether one is interested in historical narratives, linguistic explorations, thematic studies, or genre analyses, the continent’s literature offers an array of topics waiting to be uncovered. As this article highlights, the scope of research in African literature is vast and ever-expanding, reflecting the dynamism and diversity of the continent itself.

How to Choose African Literature Research Paper Topics

African literature is vast, diverse, and deeply rooted in the historical and cultural fabric of the continent. Given the plethora of narratives, themes, and voices it offers, choosing a research paper topic can be both exciting and daunting. However, with a structured approach and an understanding of one’s own interests, it’s possible to narrow down and select a topic that’s both engaging and academically enriching. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this process.

• Understand Your Passion: Begin by introspecting and understanding what truly intrigues you about African literature. Are you drawn to historical narratives, contemporary themes, specific regions, or particular authors? Identifying your passion can act as a compass, guiding your research in a direction that keeps you engaged.
• Delve into Preliminary Reading: Before zeroing in on a topic, immerse yourself in a broad range of African literary works. This will not only expose you to various themes and styles but also help identify gaps in existing research or areas that particularly pique your interest.
• Consider Cultural and Regional Specificities: African literature is not monolithic. The experiences of North Africans can vastly differ from those in Sub-Saharan Africa. Similarly, East African narratives might diverge from West African tales. Consider narrowing your focus to a specific region or culture to add depth to your research.
• Engage with Critical Analysis: Reading critical analyses and literary critiques can offer insights into prevailing interpretations and highlight contentious issues within specific texts or themes. This can be a goldmine for identifying areas of debate or fresh perspectives.
• Explore Interdisciplinary Angles: African literature intersects with history, sociology, anthropology, and many other disciplines. Consider exploring interdisciplinary angles – for instance, the portrayal of post-colonial identity, the impact of urbanization on narrative structures, or the influence of traditional oral narratives on modern fiction.
• Reflect on Contemporary Relevance: Some of the most impactful research draws parallels between literary themes and contemporary societal issues. Consider how themes from African literature resonate with current global or local events or challenges.
• Consult Professors and Peers: Engage in discussions with your professors, advisors, or classmates. They can offer valuable feedback, suggest resources, or provide a fresh perspective that might help refine your topic.
• Ensure Availability of Resources: While an obscure topic might seem enticing, it’s essential to ensure that adequate resources, primary texts, and secondary references are available to support your research.
• Set Clear Boundaries: Given the vastness of African literature, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Once you’ve chosen a broad topic, set clear boundaries. For instance, if you’re exploring feminism in African literature, you might narrow it down to a specific region, time period, or set of authors.
• Stay Open to Evolution: As you delve deeper into your research, be open to the evolution of your topic. Sometimes, the research journey might lead you to more specific, nuanced, or slightly altered research questions that are more compelling or feasible.

Choosing a research paper topic, especially in a field as expansive as African literature, requires a blend of introspection, exploration, and consultation. By aligning your interests, understanding the breadth and depth of the literature, and being open to guidance and evolution, you can select a topic that not only adds value to the academic community but also offers a fulfilling research experience.

How to Write an African Literature Research Paper

Writing a research paper on African literature is a journey that can be immensely rewarding. It provides an opportunity to engage deeply with diverse narratives, cultural perspectives, and historical contexts. However, to truly encapsulate the essence of such a multifaceted topic, it’s imperative to approach the writing process with diligence, structure, and a deep sense of curiosity. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this process and produce a compelling research paper.

• Start with a Robust Introduction: Your introduction should provide a brief overview of your chosen topic, its significance within African literature, and the broader global or cultural context. End your introduction with a clear thesis statement, which succinctly presents the main argument or focus of your paper.
• Comprehensive Literature Review: Dedicate a section to reviewing existing literature on your chosen topic. This serves two main purposes: it showcases your thorough research and understanding of the topic, and it helps identify gaps or areas that your research aims to address or shed light on.
• Maintain a Clear Structure: A well-organized paper follows a logical flow of ideas. Outline your paper into clear sections, starting from the introduction, literature review, methodology (if primary research is involved), discussion, and conclusion.
• Dive into Primary Text Analysis: Engage deeply with the primary texts from African literature that you’re analyzing. Use quotations judiciously and ensure you provide your own interpretation and analysis. Discuss literary techniques, thematic elements, character development, and any other relevant aspects.
• Incorporate Diverse Perspectives: Given the richness of African literature, it’s essential to consider various cultural, historical, and regional perspectives. Engage with critical essays, analyses, and scholarly discussions that provide different viewpoints on your chosen texts or themes.
• Engage with Context: African literature is deeply intertwined with the continent’s historical, political, and social narratives. Be sure to discuss relevant historical events, socio-political contexts, or cultural nuances that influence or are reflected in the literary works you’re studying.
• Ensure a Balanced Argument: While it’s natural to have a personal viewpoint or interpretation, ensure your paper presents a balanced discussion. This means acknowledging counterarguments, discussing varying interpretations, and grounding your conclusions in evidence and sound reasoning.
• Use Citations Appropriately: Given the academic nature of the research paper, ensure that every claim, statement, or piece of information taken from external sources is appropriately cited. Familiarize yourself with the specific citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, Harvard) required for your paper.
• Draft Multiple Versions: Writing is a process of iteration. Start with a rough draft, then revise multiple times, refining your arguments, improving the flow, and ensuring clarity. Each revision should bring your paper closer to its final, polished version.

C. Louis Leipoldt is known as a canonical figure in the history of Afrikaans poetry, He is customarily included in the pantheon of writers such as C.J. Langenhoven who not only established Afrikaans as a standardized national language in the early twentieth century, but also contributed to the idea of the Afrikaner Volk as a distinct nation within South Africa. The recent publication of Leipoldt's Valley Trilogy, three novels written in English in the 1930's now reveals Leipoldt in a very different light. Today, in a time of national transformation, Leipoldt's liberal ideas deserve to be given the broader scope he had intended for them.
