Description

African literary texts can be approached in a variety of ways. They may be examined in isolation as verbal artifacts that have a unique integrity. They may be studied in relation to other texts that preceded and followed them. Or they may be seen against the backdrop of the time, traditions and circumstances that helped to shape them. In this book, all these approaches have been utilized, sometimes singly, sometimes in combination.

Included among those authors whose texts are discussed in detail are Peter Abrahams, Chinua Achebe, Ayi Kwei Armah, Mongo Beti, John Bruin, Mbongeni Ngema, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Okot .'Bitek, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Ansuyah R. Singh, and Amos Tutuola.
