Besides searching book reviews, an interview with the writer Tijan
M. Sallah, a full report on the 6th Ethiopian International Film
Festival, and a stimulating selection of creative writing
(including a showcase of recent South African poetry), this issue
of Matatu offers general essays on African women's poetry,
anglophone Cameroonian literature, and Zimbabwean fiction of the
Gukurahundi period, along with studies of J.M. Coetzee, Kalpana
Lalji, Ng g wa Thiong'o, Aminata Sow Fall, Wole Soyinka, and Yvonne
Vera. The bulk of this issue, however, is given over to coverage of
cultural and sociological topics from North Africa to the Cape,
ranging from cultural identity in contemporary North Africa, two
contributions on Kenyan naming ceremonies and initiation songs, and
three studies of the function of Shona and Ndebele proverbs, to
national history in Zimbabwean autobiography, traditional mourning
dress of the Akans of Ghana, and the precolonial origins of
traditional leadership in South Africa. Contributors: Jude Aigbe
