\u201cBlack South African Magazines brings together over 50,000 pages of popular magazines written for Black African audiences and published between 1937 and 1973. Much of the content, which includes investigative journalism, photography, fiction, reviews, biographies, advertisements, and more, was created by a new generation of Black journalists, writers and artists. Many of the titles were syndicated across the continent and contained content specifically developed for the African English-speaking world, so they provide a view of Black society across all of Africa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Black South African Magazines was developed in partnership with Sabinet, a leading publisher of African materials for libraries, the materials were sourced from African libraries and digitized in Africa.\u201d (Coherent Digital, Black South African Magazines) <\/span><\/p>\n

Magazines include Drum<\/em><\/span> Magazine,<\/span><\/i> which was once the most widely read magazine in Africa. Drum\u2019s journalists are credited with changing the way Black South Africans were represented in society. In addition, some of the “women\u2019s magazines on this platform escaped the scrutiny of the apartheid government at times when several others were shut down and their journalists jailed.” (Coherent Digital, Black South African Magazines)<\/span><\/p>\n
