This landmark volume brings together a very rich harvest of forty
critical essays on Cameroon literature by Cameroon literary
scholars. The book is the result of the Second Conference on
Cameroon Literature which took place at the University of Buea in
1994. The Buea conference was motivated by a determination to look
at Cameroon literature straight into its face and criticize it
using literary criteria of the strictest kind. Gone were the times
when the criticism was complacent because it was believed that a
nascent literature could easily be stifled by application of rather
strict cannons of literary criticism. Both writers and critics had
a lot to say. Subjects dealt with ranged from general topics on
literature, survival and national identity, through specialized
articles on prose, poetry, drama, translation, language, folklore,
children's literature, Journalism and politics. It is the hope of
the volume editors that the publication of these papers will
instigate the kind of actions that were recommended and that the
prolific nature of Cameroon literature will equally give rise to a
prolific and robust criticism.
