In early 2024, the British Council commissioned a study, Publishing Futures: A Study of the Publishing Landscapes in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, focused on the publishing landscape in African countries where the council operates. Findings from the research indicate that there are several successful trade publishing houses owned and managed by Africans. Some of these include amaBooks, Cassava Republic, impepho press, Inkani Books, Jacana Media, Masobe Books, Modjaji, Narrative Landscape Press, Noirledge, Ouida, Sevhage, and uhlanga, among others. This is a shift from the 1990s, when multinational publishing corporations and educational publishers dominated the market.
