    This document discusses the history and development of African literature. It notes that Africa was largely unknown to the Western world until the 15th century when European exploration and colonization began. By the 19th century, most of Africa had been divided among European colonial powers. In the mid-20th century, African nations experienced a rise in nationalism and independence as the old tribal structures gave way to national states. Early African writings focused on tribes, nature, and religion, while later works promoted Christianity. More recently, literature has focused on cultural emancipation and protest.
