About
The African Poetry in the News database will provide access to digitized Africana and news publications, and will index news articles, interviews, images, reviews and any references to African poetics in African and British Newspapers. The database will allow researchers to examine how depictions of African poetry in the news media have influenced and shaped perceptions of what African poetry is in the 21st century. It will also facilitate and support current research relating to Poetry and Revolution, Race and Poetry, and Poetry and Migration as it relates to the African continent and cultures.
