Black Orpheus: A Journal of African and Afro-Ameri

Black Orpheus: A Journal of African and Afro-American Literature was one of the most significant literary journals to emerge out of Africa. Founded in 1957 by German editor and translator, Ulli Beier, Black Orpheus took its name from the Jean-Paul Sarte essay “Orphée Noir,” which had been published as a preface to a collection of Francophone African literature edited by Léopold Senghor.

Teaching in Nigeria, Beier develop a mechanism for giving Nigerian authors a broad, international audience. Publishing three volumes, the journal quickly became a centre for the emerging literary scenes in both Anglophone and Francophone Africa, with contributions from an veteran writers such as Chinua Achebe, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Gabriel Okara, Lenrie Peters, and Wole Soyinka.
