The publishing market of African literature in Spanish is inevitably linked to the recent history of Equatorial Guinea, a Spanish colony until 1968. During the Spanish occupation, the publishing market had to adjust to the requirements of the colonial project. After independence was achieved, the publishing houses were not able to flourish due to the limitations of what Liniger-Goumaz calls "the Nguemist regime", which served as a bridge between Francisco Macías's dictatorship (1968-1979) and the current regime of Teodoro Obiang. Nowadays, the edition of Afro-Hispanic literature is carried out mainly in publishing houses based in Spain, some of them under the supervision of Equatorial-Guinean editors. These editorial houses are outside the scope and dynamics of peninsular publishing. This is the case of a small publishing house known as Editorial Mey (Barcelona), founded by Remei Sipi Mayo, that specializes in African literature in Spanish and pays particular attention to literature written by women.
