Issues of Indigenous African Literature and Onomastics: A Festschrift in Honour of D. B. Z. Ntuli New edition

The discussion entails modern literature, oral literature, literary translations, orthography and onomastics. The contributions in the book recommend the promotion, development and preservation of indigenous African languages.
The book has been specially compiled to honour scholars who have promoted, developed and preserved indigenous African languages of South Africa. These scholars contributed by restoring the dignity of the languages which were marginalised and dehumanised by colonialism. The authors present innovative approaches of interpreting and analysing African literary works, and suggest relevant translation strategies. Other chapters focus on the importance of naming in African societies. Names have a bearing on the life of a person or the community. The book further recommends a frequent revisit of the orthography of the indigenous African languages to avoid inconsistencies.
