This collection ranges far and wide, as befits the personality and
accomplishments of the dedicatee, Geoffrey V. Davis, German studies
and exile literature scholar, postcolonialist (if there are
'specialties', then Australia, Canada, India, South Africa, Black
Britain), journal and book series editor.... Themes covered include
publishing in Africa, charisma in African drama, the rediscovery of
apartheid-era South African literature, Truth and Reconciliation
commissions, South African cinema, children's theatre in England
and Eritrea, and the Third Chimurenga in literary anthologies.
Surveyed are texts from Botswana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania,
and Zimbabwe. Writers discussed (or interviewed: Angela Makholwa)
include Ayi Kwei Armah, Seydou Badian, J.M. Coetzee, Chielo Zona
Eze, Ruth First, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Bessie Head, Ian Holding,
Kavevangua Kahengua, Njabulo Ndebele, Lara Foot Newton, Ng g wa
Thiong'o/Micere Githae Mugo, Sol Plaatje, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Mongane
Wally Serote, Wole Soyinka, and Ed-gar Wallace, together with
essays on the artist Sokari Douglas Camp and the filmmaker Rayda
Jacobs. Because Geoff's commitment to literature has always been
'hands-on', the book closes with a selection of poems and an
entertaining travelogue/memoir.
