In view of the significance of the June 1962 Conference in charting the terrain of African Literature, we plan to make the 2012 Conference an occasion for reflection on the key strands and developments in African literature since the 1962 Conference. It is planned that participants will analyze the new issues and directions, manifest or latent, in contemporary African literary scholarship.
We now invite submissions of abstracts and panels from writers and critics, publishers and distributors, and all who are interested in African literature.
