The predicament of literature in apartheid South Africa put the most fundamental tenets of literary historiography in question. This project, which uses the vast body of original archival evidence relating to various institutions concerned with the literary, including censorship, publishing, and education, addresses this challenge head on and proposes a radical new way of writing about the category of the literary in history. Though it focuses on South Africa between the 1950s and the early 1990s, it also examines the ways in which its literatures were relayed around the world, particularly in the US and the UK.

在种族隔离的南非，文学的困境使文学史学的最基本原则受到了质疑。这个项目利用了大量与文学相关的各种机构的原始档案证据，包括审查、出版和教育，正面解决了这一挑战，并提出了一种关于历史上文学范畴的激进的新写作方式。尽管它关注的是20世纪50年代至90年代初的南非，但它也考察了它的文学作品在世界各地传播的方式，特别是在美国和英国。
