This study of West African literatures interweaves the analysis of fiction,
drama, and poetry with an exploration of the broader political, cultural, and
intellectual contexts within which West African writers work. Anglophone
literatures form the central focus of the book, with comparative comments
on vernacular literature, francophone writing and oral literatures, and
detailed discussion of selected francophone texts in translation (e.g., Senghor,
Tadjo,
anti-colonial writing in the period before independence, towards the more
experimental writings of contemporary authors such as
(Ivory Coast), Syl Cheney-Coker (Sierra Leone), and
the book constantly relates texts to the social and political history of West
Africa. Canonical, internationally well-known writers such as Chinua
Achebe and
and debates which surrounded them when they first produced their seminal
texts. The discussions and disagreements which have grown up around their
work in subsequent decades are considered alongside lesser-known writers,
including Niyi Osundare (Nigeria) and Kofi Anyidoho (Ghana). In order to
convey a sense of the rich and complex societies that are clustered beneath
the umbrella-term
diverse oral and popular cultures, and the ways in which local intellectuals
and readers have responded to the most prominent authors through the
aesthetic frameworks
