Local literature is literature from a certain area. So, for instance, if you were Quebec in Canada, you might want to read local literature by some French Canadian authors, rather than popular literature from the US, or from France. So, you would go to the library or a local bookstore and ask if they have a selection of local literature. When doing research, it is often good to review local literature *and* foreign or popular literature, so that you can avoid the biases of a certain area or culture.
