Lutz Diegner & Frank Schulze-Engler, eds.: Habari ya English? What about Kiswahili? East Africa as a Literary and Linguistic Contact Zone (Brill, 2015)   This wide-ranging collection deals with the dynamics of current developments in literature, language, and culture in Kenya and Tanzania. It promotes transdisciplinary dialogue among anglophone and Swahili studies, literary studies and linguistics, East African and German academic discourse, Kenyan and Tanzanian perspectives.		Pavan Kumar Malreddy: Orientalism, terrorism, Indigenism: South Asian Readings in Postcolonialism (Sage, 2015)   The book examines the uses of postcolonial theory in understanding the structural transformations enabled by post-9/11 discourses of Orientalism and terrorism; the internal contradictions between South Asian approaches to postcolonialism and its European adaptations; and the resistance produced by the indigenization of local literary traditions in the work of select South Asian literary figures.
Frank Schulze-Engler & Geoffrey V. Davis, eds.: African Literatures (WVT, 2013)   This series of introductory reader contains an introduction that sketches out major trends and developments in the region and provides recommendations for further reading and explores histories, identities, language, education, movements and genres, as well as transcultural perspectives.
