Publisher's Synopsis

A pioneering study tracing the history of Tigrinya literature in Eritrea, a barely explored field, principally using original sources and framing it against the country's colonial history. Rather than treating oral and written literary traditions separately, Negesh treats them as one literary system, breaking new ground within the field of Eritrean studies and taking to the mainstream this largely unknown body of African literature.
