The relationship between the English language and the nationalist mission within Anglophone African literary works has been a rather intricate one. This discourse has been a recurrent subject of examination in both African and non-African academic scholarship. The candidness of these literary works in advancing nationalism in Africa is often diminished due to their reliance on European languages as the medium of expression. From the African perspective, nationalism conventionally denotes a literary endeavour wherein Anglophone African writers seek to rewrite the narrative surrounding the African condition, counteracting the hegemonic discourse of colonial literature. This chapter systematically explores the viability and significance of employing European languages, particularly the English language, as a tool for fostering African nationalism within postcolonial Anglophone African literary texts. Drawing upon the decolonial movement, the chapter advocates for a critical reassessment of the ongoing language question with regard to the postcolonial decolonisation of Africa in the contemporary era. A key argument presented herein posits that given the extensive deliberations on the language question without reaching a definitive consensus, the radicalistic, binary view concerning the feasibility of utilising the English language in African Anglophone literary texts in the discourses of African decolonisation is now trivial.
