For the first time in China, the works of Nobel Prize winner Gurna are translated and introduced; 38 writers from 16 countries use literature as a method to describe Africa in motion, presenting the cohesion and separation of African history. This is a genealogy of modern and contemporary African literature. It selects and compiles the most representative literary works, and thus presents the cohesion and dispersion of African history. Its authors, from Chinua Achebe, Abdul Razak Gourna, Nadine Gordimer, Ben Okri, to Ngugi Wa Thiango and Mia Kotto, have repeatedly convinced us that literature is not just a mirror or window of history; it is also a medium that interprets and reshapes Africa in our eyes, triggering us to examine issues such as immigration, identity, and borders. The history of Africa seen through literature is not just about political turmoil and generational changes. It includes the subtle depiction of daily life, the writing of cultural memory, the legacy of oral tradition, the alternating influence of folk literature and modern Western literature, the repeated reenactment of totems and taboos, and the never-ending dialogue between legends, myths, fables and reality. It allows us to see how people in Africa live and how they view their own existence and future.
