African Writing Today is an anthology of postcolonial African literature, mostly short stories and a few poems, edited by South African writer, poet, and critic Es'kia Mphahlele. The anthology was published in London by Penguin in 1967.[1]
Much of the literature in the anthology is from West and Southern Africa. Starting in the mid-1950s, international criticism of South Africa's apartheid regime brought more attention to race relations in the country, and as a result publishing opportunities for South African particularly in England increased; African Writing Today was one of a number of anthologies that proved an outlet for South African writers.[1]
