Synopsis: |
Here is a chart of the widening frontiers of black literary aesthetics, using the prose and dramatic fictions of Anglophone, Lusophone and Francophone writers from Africa and the African Diaspora to embrace ten essays /reviews from South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Germany, Canada, the United States and the Netherlands in this fourth edition of African Literature [JAL]. The essays are placed in three phases of current critical discourses involving rejoinders from past-present concerns, oratorical strategies of narrative, and issues of cultural and contemporary modernity. |
