Publishing, books and reading in Sub-Saharan Africa: a critical bibliography

This is a new, substantially recast and fully updated edition of a reference resource first published in 1996 under the title Publishing and Book Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Annotated Bibliography (co-edited with Cécile Lomer).  It charts the growth of publishing and book development in the countries of Africa south of the Sahara, covering all segments of publishing and the book trade, as well as including a large number of entries on many other topics as they relate to books and reading in Africa.    This edition contains over 2,500 entries, of which more than 60% are new entries, the majority of them published during the period from 1996 through to the end of 2007. Most of the material listed is in English, but there are also a considerable number of citations in French and on publishing and the book sector in the francophone nations of Africa.
