Research interests
I am interested in postcolonial literary networks and the different institutions of canon formation, exploring how they contribute towards African literary production and consumption. My research recognises that the field of cultural and literary production is a structurally oriented one in which power hierarchies are actualised in the literature produced and one that also runs the risk of privileging certain political, social and economic values and identities. I am therefore interested in exploring the relationship between different agents in the postcolonial literary production industry and their influence on literature.
