What are the main themes that can be found in African literature?

The African are deeply hurt so the most thems are expressing about the colonialism liberation and nationalism and some of them expresses about the tradition and habits......

Many themes take the lead of writing in Africa which are for instance : colonialism, subjugation , nationalism, culture contact and conflict,alienation,gender , poverty porn, disillusionment etc.

African themes include to a great level cultural values, colonialism, slavery and the struggle against it, post colonial disappointments, love and modernisation.

The main themes are colonialism, subjugation , nationalism, culture contact and conflict,alienation,disillusionment and most recently, gender and homosexuality, poverty porn, disillusionment etc. 

It has themes of indeginous culture and anti-slavery themes.

African Literature is replete with themes of; African Culture, Conflict of Culture, Religion, Colonialism, and Modernism and the like.

African literature can be divided into three distinct categories: precolonial, colonial and postcolonial. Precolonial literature often takes the form of oral narratives that are sometimes accompanied by music and center around the trickster figure. Colonial literature examines the horrors of slavery and the slave trade, revolting against colonialism and drawing inspiration from Africa's past. Postcolonial literature focuses on the clash between indigenous and colonial cultures, expressing hope for Africa's future.

As far as I know, from my experience as a teacher of English language and literature, the main themes that are treated in African literature are:

-The oppression of the colonists and how they exploit the natural resources of the

country which they come to live in. African literature. also talks about the cruelty of the white white man and about the policy of racial discrimination.

-It also discusses the customs and traditions of the African society. 

I believe Africans in general are proud of their struggle against colonialism and slavery in the past but they also know how corrupted their regimes are.. that could be some of the main themes in their literature.

The main themes that could be found in African literature are: Racism, colonalization, slavery and socila life..  

The theme of hard work and burdens of living.
