Michael Chapman, Emeritus Professor of English and former Dean of Humanities at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, presents a comprehensive literary history of the southern African region, encompassing South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, and Lesotho.
Unlike surveys focused solely on English-language writing, this work integrates literature in Afrikaans, Portuguese, and indigenous African languages, as well as oral traditions such as San and Bantu storytelling. Chapman explores how literature in the region reflects and interacts with broader cultural, political, and historical contextstracing narratives shaped by colonization, resistance, apartheid, and democratic transition.
