Visually addressing the “absenting” of African Literary Cities, this online pan-African map of literary representation of African cities is a living collaborative archive. It is free a resource for literary and urban scholars, as well as members of the public, interested in national, regional and continental imaginaries of African urbanity.
Contribution to our archive
We invite visitors to our website to add to the live mapping of African Literary Cities.
The moderated mapping tool is produced with the kind help of the Cities in Fiction, an archival project to locate real-world places in fiction, based in India.
