Connects the black literary archive in South Africa, since the nineteenth-century writing of Tiyo Soga. This work focuses on cultural transactions in a series of key moments. It argues that black writers in South Africa have used print culture to map themselves onto modernity as subjects, to recast their positioning in the context of democracy.
