Litterae Africae sunt litterae in vel ex Africa natae, litteris oralibus (oratura[1]) non exclusis.

Wole Soyinka anno 2018.

Europaeae litterarum normae artem resque contentas saepe separat, quas conscientia Africana coniungere solet:

Litterae etiam artifex vocabulorum usum solum artis gratia significare potest. . . . Secundum traditionem, Africani artem a doctrina funditus non distinguunt. Pro scribendo vel canendo pulchritudinis causa, scriptores Africani, indicia litterarum oralium sequentes, pulchritudine utuntur ad veritates et res magni momenti societati humanae communicandas. Singula quidem res pulchra habetur ob veritates quas retegit et communitates quas condere adiuvat.[2]

Wole Soyinka est primus scriptor Africanus post libertatem captam qui Praemium Nobelianum Litterarum accepit. Quod praemium Albertus Camus, in Algeria natus, anno 1957 antea acceperat.

  1. Vocabulum a Pio Zirimu erudito Ugandensi excogitatum (George 1996: 303).
  2. Anglice: "Literature" can also simply mean an artistic use of words for the sake of art alone. . . . Traditionally, Africans do not radically separate art from teaching. Rather than write or sing for beauty in itself, African writers, taking their cue from oral literature, use beauty to help communicate important truths and information to society. Indeed, an object is considered beautiful because of the truths it reveals and the communities it helps to build (Joseph 1996: 304).
