How have African writers addressed the issue of war and its impact
across the continent? Since the second half of the twentieth
century, no single phenomenon has marred the image and development
of Africa more than senseless fratricidal wars which rapidly
followed the political independence of nations. This issue
ofAfrican Literature Today is devoted to studies of how African
writers, as historical witnesses, have handled the recreation of
war as a cataclysmic phenomenon in various locations on the
continent. The contributors explore the subject from a variety of
perspectives: panoramic, regional, national and through comparative
studies. War has enriched contemporary African literature, but at
what price to human lives, peace and the environment?
