Category talk:African literature by country

Fetishism of nationhood
Where does Gassire's Lute go? There is no country called Soninke, there is no country anymore called Wagadu, if that ever was what we now call "country"--and which of today's countries, created by a few hundred years of Western colonialism, is appropriate for this poem? Note that Category:African poetry by language didn't even exist--for a continent with thousands of years of poetic tradition and hundreds if not thousands of languages.
