Abstract
This article highlights Tejumola Olaniyan’s often repeated interventions regarding the importance of a practice of metacriticism as a means of ensuring robust growth in the field of African literary and cultural studies. It also serves as an introduction to a special issue in the Critical Legacies series of the Journal of the African Literature Association, dedicated to an examination of Olaniyan’s contributions to metacriticism in African literary and cultural studies from a wide range of perspectives. Read together, the eight essays in the special issue, and the four additional shorter essays in the “Notes from the Field” section of this issue offer critical engagement with several major principles developed in Olaniyan’s writing as well as a model for undertaking metacriticism in African literary and cultural studies.
