Extractions: by Lillian Temu Osaki Introduction Children's authors treated on this web site A few links to other web pages on African children's literature Works cited ... Other African Children's Literature Authors Available At UF Libraries What do we mean by "African children's literature"? A quick definition is "literature written for African children by African authors either in the vernacular or in a foreign language" (Meniru 1992:43). This simple definition failed me as I began researching the biographies of authors whose books I had selected, read, and appreciated as suitable for African children. Some of these books e.g. Who's in Rabbit's House? A Maasai tale retold Why Mosquitoes buzz in peoples ears: A West African tale retold Tales of Temba; and Kyekyekulee, Grandmothers tales) were written by non-African authors. Verna Aardema, Peggy Appiah, and Kathleen Arnott are not Africans, but does the ethnic origin of an author disqualify her books as culturally African? The purpose of this web page is to introduce scholars interested in African children's literature to a variety of material that is available for research in this area. I hope that what I have gathered here will serve as a useful starting point to anyone else interested in studying or doing research in African children's literature.

Extractions: fax: 608 265-4151 Department Email Mission Statement The mission of the Department of African Languages and Literature is to provide research and teaching in the areas of African languages, linguistics, literature, and oral traditions. This includes work on both graduate and undergraduate levels, and emphasizes the development and application of analytical and methodological tools that will enable students to work effectively and imaginatively in the four areas. The four areas are not considered mutually exclusive: the interconnections of these disciplines are studied closely and creatively. It is in the linkages among the disciplines that the Department makes its most significant and original contributions to knowledge. The Department's mission is also to produce graduate students who are capable of conducting original research and of providing teaching of quality in African languages, linguistics, oral traditions, and literature; students who will assure the future strength and health of these fields, who will carry our work to other institutions and countries. Through our teaching and our publications, we regularly inform and define, develop and give richness to our several disciplines, and so have a shaping influence on the field generally.

Extractions: These pages began in February 1996 as small project for a display in the lobby of Library West, UF's Humanities and Social Sciences library. Because the original file has become one of our more popular pages, we have expanded it significantly. I hope that this page sparks interest in African literature generally, and more specifically, in our sizable collection here at UF. Newly added in March and April of 1997 are short biographical pieces on Chinua Achebe, Ama Ata Aidoo, Ayi Kwei Armah, Buchi Emecheta, Bessie Head, Alex La Guma, Dambudzo Marechera, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Alan Paton, Okot P'Bitek, and Amos Tutuola. A substantial page for Francophone African poets in English translation is also now available, including brief biographical sketches as well as short excerpts from each author's work. We would be happy to review submissions from others in a similar vein. Thumbnail reviews of African novels would be especially welcomed, as would biographical sketches such as those found here already. We reserve for ourselves all editorial decisions for this site.

John Erickson - Translating The Untranslated: Djebar's Le Blanc De L'Algerie - R
Research in african literature 303. Article by John Erickson.
http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/research_in_african_literatures/v030/30.3erickson.h

Extractions: Research in African Literatures Translating the Untranslated: Djebar's John Erickson For my part I am able to express my malaise as a writer and an Algerian woman only with reference to that color (white), or rather to that noncolor. Kandinsky said, "White, on our soul, acts as absolute silence." Here I am, opening a discours in some way deviant and exilic. Djebar, Two nouns often meet in tandem in Assia Djebar's recent writings, particularly those writings profoundly concerned with the bloodletting that has plagued recent-day Algeria and that finds it roots in the Algerian War of Liberation. Those nouns are le blanc ("the white," "the blank," etc.) and la voix ("voice")the former signifying among other things death, unfulfillment, absence, and unwrittenness, the latter the often silenced voice of the innumerable victims of the repression and recrimination occurring in the years since the revolution. The work central to this essay is Djebar's , a perplexing memoir published in 1995. The problematic I address is that of Djebar's impelling motive to lend voice to the sufferings of her fellow Algerians and to those who have struggled to bring about a just and integrated society. Her deep solicitude in regard to the individual tragedies of those of whom she writes projects ultimately onto the question of nationhood. Djebar seeks to bring forth the power of the voice incarned in the words of Albert Camus that serve as one of the two epigraphs to The noun blanc carries multiple connotations in Djebar's memoir. The Grand Robert dictionary offers a profusion of meanings: that which reflects light, symbolizes purity and innocence, is exsangue (emptied of blood), an interval, an empty space as on a written page, the center of a target (a bull's-eye) or the target itself, to name but a few. Djebar rings a refrain on these multiple meanings:

Extractions: Prefactory Note and Acknowledgments I NTRODUCTION TO MOST HISTORIANS of African and Caribbean literature in French, René Maran's Batouala, Véritable roman nègre , published in 1921 (prix Goncourt 1921), would mark the beginning of this literature. Tout le roman nègre procède de René Maran , said Léopold Senghor in 1956. By all standards this is a relatively young literature; its writers, with a few exceptions, are living persons. Indeed, the bulk of its corpus belongs to the late fifties and the post-independence period in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet within this short span, this literature has made its presence felt on the world scene, and has generated enough materials for serious research. As part of the history and culture of the peoples, African and Caribbean literature in French reflects the traumatic history of imperialism (colonial and neo-colonial) and its political, economic, and cultural manifestations. One can easily define in this literature, from the great poet-apostles of Negritude (Léon Gontran Damas, Aimé Césaire, Léopold Senghor, Jacques Rabemanjara), to the post-independence novelists (ousmane Sembène, Djibril Tamsir Niane, Jean Pliya, Seydou Badian, and others), a conscious desire towards cultural disalienation, an effort to reach back to native sources and traditions, to one's own roots which the colonized has been taught to despise. But there is also a political
