Fasihi ya Kiafrika kama nyenzo ya kuelezea historia ya Afrika
[African Literary Works as Tools for Describing African History]
In: UtafitiIkisiri
Wanahistoria na wanafasihi wameendelea kujadili uwezo wa fasihi ya Kiafrika kusawiri historia ya Afrika. Baadhi ya wataalamu wanadai kwamba fasihi ya Kiafrika haina uwezo wa kuakisi ukweli wa kihistoria; wengine wanaona kwamba ni baadhi tu ya tanzu za fasihi zinazoweza kusawiri historia ya jamii fulani. Aidha, wengine wanaona kuwa fasihi, kwa ujumla wake, bila kujali utanzu, husawiri historia ya jamii fulani. Data zilizobainishwa hapa zinaonyesha kwamba aina zote za kazi za fasihi – ushairi, tamthilia, riwaya, na fasihi simulizi – zimesawiri historia ya jamii mahususi za Kiafrika. Hivyo, kazi za fasihi ni miongoni mwa vyanzo muhimu vya data za kihistoria.
Abstract
Historians and literary critics continue to debate the ability of African literature to portray the history of Africa. Some scholars claim African literature is incapable of reflecting objective facts of history; others maintain that only some genres of literature can portray the history of a particular society. Still others see literary works as inevitably reflecting a given time in the history of a particular society. The data assembled here indicate that all kinds of literary works – poetry, plays, novels and orature – have portrayed the history of specific African societies; literary works constitute one of the very important sources of historical data.
