"La littérature africaine doit occuper vaillamment et sans complexe sa place dans le concert des littératures. Elle a des messages à délivrer aux Africains et au monde. Et c'est à cela que s'emploie Jean-Claude Djéréké, qui ne s'embarrasse pas d'inutiles et vaines fioritures complexes pour ne retenir que le message des auteurs choisis. La démarche de l'auteur n'est pas tant le résumé de l'oeuvre qu'il ne néglige cependant pas que son message. En sus, il donne son point de vue sur chacune en s'appuyant ou en s'éloignant des analyses de critiques connus. Nous trouvons ici une liberté de ton qui exclut tout académisme sclérosant et ankylosant. La priorité est accordée à la réflexion sur la situation du continent avant et après les indépendances."--Page 4 of cover.

This study proposes that - rather than trying to discern the normative value of Afropolitanism as an identificatory concept, politics, ethics or aesthetics - Afropolitanism may be best approached as a distinct historical and cultural moment, that is, a certain historical constellation that allows us to glimpse the shifting and multiple silhouettes which Africa, as signifier, as real and imagined locus, embodies in the globalized, yet predominantly Western, cultural landscape of the 21st century. As such, Making Black History looks at contemporary fictions of the African or Black Diaspora that have been written and received in the moment of Afropolitanism. Discursively, this moment is very much part of a diasporic conversation that takes place in the US and is thus informed by various negotiations of blackness, race, class, and cultural identity. Yet rather than interpreting Afropolitan literatures (merely) as a rejection of racial solidarity, as some commentators have, they should be read as ambivalent responses to post-racial discourses dominating the first decade of the 21st century, particularly in the US, which oscillate between moments of intense hope and acute disappointment.

Pelong ya Ka, a collection of essays and sketches in Sotho, was first published in 1962 in the Bantu Treasury Series imprint of Witwatersrand University Press. Sophonia Machabe Mofokeng is regarded as one of the greatest essayists and dramatists in Southern Sotho. His first book, Senkatana (a play) was published in 1952.
Pelong ya Ka comprises twenty essays which range from meditative, descriptive, and narrative to polemic style, with the tone of voice characterised by melancholy, humour, and satire. The essays span over a wide range of themes, as suggested by their titles, e.g. Pelo ('The heart'), Bodutu ('Solitude'), Death ('Lefu'), Nako ('Time'), Pampiri ('Paper'), Ho kganna mmotokara ('Driving an automobile'), Sepetlele ('Hospital'), Lenyalo ('Matromony'), and Boqhek ('Old age'). Nhlanhla Maake says of this collection: 'Mofokeng's essays fuse simplicity with depth'.
Pelong ya Ka is now part of the African Treasury Series published by Wits University Press.
