The re-issue of archival volumes ALT 1 to ALT 14 makes the complete
series available and provides the historical perspective of these
early contributions to the literature and its criticism. First
published in 1975, this volume of the series continues in more
depth the debate on the role of critics and the purpose of
criticism. As Eldred Jones reminds the reader in his Editorial:
"African Literature Today has always aimed to be a forum for
discussion ... Not surprisingly some opinions have provoked strong
reactions. Indeed where there is time reactions are deliberately
sought so that differing opinions can appear close to each
other....African Literature Today is happy to serve as the
threshing floor." The lively exchanges on who is best placed to
judge African literature and how best to teach it continue both in
responding articles and in the Comments section of the volume.
Eldred Jones again embraces this debate and is reminded of the Igbo
proverb: "The world is like a mask dancing; if you want to see it
well you must not stand in one place."
