This chronological timeline sets out some of the key dates, events, and landmarks in the development of indigenous publishing in sub-Saharan Africa. It also includes details of the major conferences, meetings or seminars on African publishing, held in Africa or at venues elsewhere, since 1968. An earlier version of this chronology first appeared in The African Publishing Companion: A Resource Guide (2002), and has now been updated through to the period up to 2019, and considerably expanded to also include publication of a number of benchmark studies, conference proceedings, journals, and reference resources on the African book world.

Nomenclatures according to the Temne people of Lungi town in Sierra Leone, have facts of communication for the family and society and so name is very necessary for a human person and it should be cerebrated traditionally when giving it to a new born child. However, this work is by no means a definitive or an exhaustive study: rather, it is essentially thought provoking and aimed at inviting further studies among the ethnic groups in Sierra Leone especially in Africa. The ultimate objective of this work is, in the next few years materials that are stock in our Africa's heritage will be gather together to be use for referencing and help in the understanding of our Africa values. Consequently, in Sierra Leone among the ethnic groups and various towns, there are similarities and differences in traditional Nomenclature ceremony of a child and as such there are also reasons of naming their child. Therefore, we will attempt a crude typology Nomenclature-giving according to the Temne people of Lungi wherein we shall expose the how and whyness of traditional naming ceremony in Lungi town.

Scope and coverage This bibliography records publications on Africa of interest to students of Africa, principally in the social and environmental sciences, development studies, humanities and arts. Some items from the medical, biological and natural sciences are included. The criterion used is potential relevance to a reader from a social sciences/arts background. The whole continent and associated islands are covered but the African diaspora, only very selectively. The 2009 edition aims to cover material published in 2009 together with items from earlier years not previously listed. The editor is always very glad to hear of any items omitted so that they may be included in future editions. She would be particularly pleased to receive notification of new periodicals. African government publications and works of creative literature are not normally listed. The principal sources of data for this volume are the holdings of Cambridge University Library, the African Studies Centre, Cambridge, SOAS, the Afrika Studiecentrum, Leiden and material received by the International African Institute. Much of this material has been personally examined by the editor. Additional data has been garnered from other published bibliographies, both print and online, from COPAC, the online union catalogue of the UK's major research libraries, and AJOL (African Journals Online-http://www.ajol.info/), which provides invaluable access to periodicals published in Africa. All the periodicals listed below on p. xvii have been scanned for relevant items. Occasionally, there will not necessarily be a relevant article from a particular publication in a given year; however as it has been scanned by the bibliographer, the publication is nonetheless included in the list. Arrangement The arrangement of the bibliography is by region and country, with a preliminary section for the continent as a whole. Each region or country begins with a 'General' section and then subject fields (see list below) follow in alphabetical order. Where an item might appear under more than one heading, this is indicated by cross reference (see the csee also' list immediately under each subject heading) or the subject index will guide users to it.

This literature survey is an attempt to bring together some of the literature on an important and challenging, and one could well say neglected aspect of the African book sector, that of publishing in African languages, an area that greatly impacts literary production in many ways. It aims to make a small contribution to the ongoing debate about publishing of indigenous language materials, how the profile of indigenous language publishing might be enhanced—and how publishing in African languages could be conducted as a societally beneficial, sustainable, and profitable commercial activity. Following an introductory overview of current publishing in African languages – and a discussion of its many barriers to success – it lists a total of 170 records, covering the literature (in English) published since the 1970s and through to early 2018. Fully annotated and/or with abstracts, it includes books, chapters in books and edited collections, reports, journal articles, Internet documents, theses and dissertations, as well as a number of blog postings. As is evident from the literature survey, the topic of publishing in African languages still amounts to a relatively modest body of literature, although it has been growing in recent years. There have been a good number of significant, indeed even ground-breaking studies and investigations about multilingual publishing in Africa, but the literature review also demonstrates that many African countries are still poorly served in terms of research on publishing in indigenous languages.
