Answer:
Yes, African Literature does correspond to the African history
Explanation:
African literature became popular in the 1950s, but it originated thousands of years ago during ancient Egypt and hieroglyphs time: the time when pictures represented words.
Africa had gone through a lot of hardships and it had a major impact on their literature. One major impact was of ‘colonization’. Colonization means people leave their homeland and settle elsewhere. This also led to slavery. Millions of African people were enslaved in western countries from 16th to 19th centuries. So, African and European cultures have always blend to form a unique literary form.
Sub-Saharan Africans had developed literature during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a result of missionaries coming to the area. The missionaries migrated to Africa and built churches and language schools to translate their religious texts. As a result, African literature was written in both European and their own native languages.
