Representations of postcolonial African cities in contemporary literature, analysed from the perspective of postcolonial studies, allow the researcher to observe a number of phenomena: a polarization of attitudes towards the areas inhabited by literary characters, a dichotomous stratification of space, an awareness of the colonial past or deliberate actions suppressing reminiscences of colonialism, as well as the labile characteristics of the cities, with their transformations, degenerations and performativity (e.g. in the context of street names, or in the case of conceptualizing the boundaries of African countries during the Berlin Conference). These themes have been interpreted as part of a review of urban literary forms. The aim of the analysis was also to indicate the possibilities of further research on cities within postcolonial theory, which has hitherto focused rather on the issues of nativity and images of the village.
