This paper was hypothesized on the prospect of a hypertextual and psycho-dialectical model of critically reading African literature and its new digital writings in view of the Eurocentric metanarratives that richly flourish as a drive in its hermeneutical and aesthetics controversy. Conscious of the prospect of post-graduate students picking on this topic in the discipline, and drawing from a post-structuralist method, the paper arrived at the following findings as constitutive of Africa’s cultural heritage and agency. The language question, the techno-text, Africanization of socialist criticism, Womanist commitment, postcolonialism and the publishing industry, pedagogy of literary theory and criticism in African schools and universities, Bolekaja criticism, re-inscription of African traditional codes of sexuality, situatedness of IMF-generation development discourses, and self-containment/ utopia of digital writings. The paper cautions, nevertheless, that these discourses are subject to new interrogations in the globalizing world.
