• "While it is not possible here to highlight the specific merits of each individual chapter, all are based on intensive engagement with, and sophisticated interpretations of, African newspapers. The volume as a whole will be generative of new empirical and theoretical research, adding an important historical dimension to the explosion of scholarship on contemporary African media."

• "African Print Cultures reinvigorates the field of African media studies and points to new directions for understanding African social, intellectual, and political history."
  --Journal of Social History
• "The collection thus makes clear that new media do not necessarily supersede older ways of communicating. This volume further demonstrates that the interactions of Africans with print are longstanding and sophisticated, and that this topic deserves further historical attention."
  --Journal of African History
• "This beautiful collective book, beyond the pleasure it provides via the discovery of fifteen meticulously documented case studies and covering a very wide period (from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century), represents a welcome epistemological and methodological advance in view of the existing work on the media in Africa.
