About the book

Western notions of cultural and social developments in African countries are still often fogged by age-old cliches and stereotypes. African literature is in fact a treasure trove, a complex marketplace with many contradictions. Writers ruminate about the worlds that move and challenge them. Sometimes, writers leave the places most familiar to them and turn to critical writing, which they enrich with their poetic vision. The essays in this volujme reflect this vision.
