Senegalese literary and sports publishing developments

Overview

Recent developments in Senegal highlight a growing focus on specialized publishing within literature and sports. Initially, new works were released including Cheikh Yérim Seck’s ‘Ces goulots qui étranglent le Sénégal’, which addressed national challenges, and Frédéric Sohounde’s examination of African cycling ahead of the 2026 Dakar event.

This momentum continued with the establishment of African Sports Editions (ESA) by four Senegalese journalists. The new publishing house intends to document the legacies of African sporting figures through its ‘Coeur de Lion’ collection. The inaugural volume focuses on the biography of El Hadj Amadou Dia Ba, Senegal’s 1988 Olympic silver medalist.
