African Writers Series (Chadwyck-Healey)The African writers series (AWS) was established in 1962 to publish works by Black African authors for general readership in newly independent African nations. It covers fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and drama. AWS features major African authors of the post-independence period, alongside new editions of classic earlier texts, political writings, and new works by authors from the 1960s to the present.
