摘要：2025年非洲英语文学在现实主义、推想小说、非虚构叙事以及思想遗产审视等领域呈现出多元而深刻的创新与延续：现实主义传统通过阿迪契、古尔纳等人的新作深化了对后殖民现实的剖析；推想小说则以奥科拉弗、奥涅布奇为代表，融合非洲未来主义，挑战西方叙事垄断，并通过国际奖项巩固本土话语权；非虚构叙事强调道德介入，阿卡德与莫古拉内的作品分别从当代危机与历史重构维度反思殖民遗产；此外，非洲文化思想巨擘的相继陨落，既标志着非洲后殖民理论与文学批评一个时代的落幕，也促使学界对其留下的思想遗产进行重新审视与代际传承。

Title: 2025 Annual Review of African Anglophone Literature
Abstract: In 2025, African anglophone literature demonstrated diverse and profound innovations and continuities across the fields of realism, speculative fiction and non-fiction narratives, as well as the examination of intellectual heritage. The realist tradition deepened through new works by realist writers such as Chimamanda Adichie and Abdulrazak Gurnah; speculative fiction, represented by Nnedi Okorafor and Tochi Onyebuchi, challenged the monopoly of Western narratives, and consolidated indigenous discursive power through international awards; non-fiction narratives emphasized moral engagement, with the works of Omar El Akkad and Khumisho Moguerane; in addition, the successive passing of Africa’s cultural and intellectual giants not only marked the end of an era in African postcolonial theory and literary criticism, but also prompted the academic community to re-examine and transmit intergenerationally the intellectual heritage they left behind.
