Archives
of Popular Swahili is an electronic archive of spoken and written Popular
Swahili texts. Popular varieties of Swahili are used as the primary medium
or vehicle of Central-African popular culture. At the same time, Popular
varieties of Swahili and the texts produced in them are among the most
conspicuous materializations of this culture.
APS wants to preserve and document
Popular Swahili texts with the aim of promoting the study and appreciation
of non-Standard vernacular varieties of Swahili and their role in African
culture and society.
APS will publish text materials
that have remained unpublished or are otherwise hard to get. Such materials
may include, for instance, private documents, such as letters, autobiographies,
lyrics, religious tracts, out of print text collections, locally produced
books, journals and magazines, or transcripts of field recordings. If
you know of materials that may be included in APS, please do not hesitate
to contact us by e-mail or regular
mail.
Listed here are all published
volumes of APS. Each text, or corpus of texts, is published as a separate
volume.
