Rezensionen

"What is exciting about Ibironke's approach, and is something shared by Wa Ngugi, is that, refreshingly, these publishing histories are integrally linked to literary analysis and used to open up new close readings of African literary texts. Another strength of the study is in its dialectical approach to cartography and knowledge production ... ." (Kate Wallis, Wasafiri, Vol. 34 (3), 2019)
"Remapping African Literature makes a significant contribution to the decolonizing discourse in African literature ... . It is noteworthy that this observation of the dialectical relation of authorial decolonizing responses reproduced in the process of constraining imperial schemes remains a valid entry-point for a wide range of postcolonial literary experiences." (Henry Obi Ajumeze, African Studies Review, Vol. 62 (3), September, 2019)

"Given the astounding amount of intellectual labour expended and the remarkable historiographic and archival nous displayed in the book, Remapping African Literature recommends itself to both the expert and the neophyte in the burgeoning field of African literature, both in its creative and critical spheres." (Chris Anyokwu, The Nation, thenationonlineng.net, July 20, 2019)
