If you want to explore this whole meta-topic of earlier #African #Anglophone literature, great milestone to start is #Onitsha Market #Literature.

There are couple books about the phenomenon, absolutely fascinating.

Of course there's a whole corpus of #Arabic texts that stretch way deeper and richer than Anglophone literature.

Yet Islamic conquest in many parts of Africa brought local traditions into reach of written word.

Obscure for the US observer? Exactly!
