European and African works have found it difficult to move past
the image of Africa as a place of exotica and relentless brutality.
This book explores the status and critical relationship between
politics, culture, literary creativity, criticism, education and
publishing in the context of promoting Africa's indigenous
knowledge, and seeks to recover some of the sites where Africans
continue to elaborate conflicting politics of self-affirmations. It
both acknowledges and steps outside the protocols of analysis
informed by nationalism, differentiating the forms that
postcolonial theories have taken, and arguing for a selective
appropriation of theory that emerges from Africa's lived
experiences.
