Publishers

Despite various efforts by local and international publishers in the past decades, literature on and about Africa remains Western dominated, a fact which is reflected in the sheer number of African publishers and of books published on the continent. Africa remains a marginal topic in Western publishing, still most of the books on Africa are produced and marketed in Western countries. Even worse, structural adjustment policies have even destroyed local publishing industries in various African countries.
