Arabic Literature of Africa: The writings of central Sudanic Africa
John O. Hunwick, Rex Séan O'Fahey, Razaq Abubakre, Hamidu Bobboyi, Roman Loimeier, Stefan Reichmuth, Muhammad Sani Umar
The second volume of "Arabic Literature of Africa" (of which six volumes are planned) deals with the literature of Central Sudanic Africa, i.e. the area lying between the present Republic of the Sudan and Mali. The bulk of the work concerns Nigeria, which has produced a voluminous and varied Arabic-Islamic literature. The smaller and less studied Arabic literature traditions of Chad, Cameroun and Niger are also examined. The work is arranged both chronologically and by sub-region, and writers have been grouped within chapters according to their scholarly and religious affiliations. Full details are given of known manuscripts, published editions and translations. There are indexes of titles, authors, first lines of poetry and a general index. An initial overview and chapter introductions provide an outline intellectual history.
