This volume reflects one of the new areas of English Studies as it
broadens to take in non-western literatures, and places more
emphasis on the contexts and broader notions of `writing'. In
discussing writing from and about Africa, this collection touches
on studies in black writing, colonialism and imperialism and
cultural development in the third world. It begins by providing a
historical introduction to the main regional traditions, and then
builds on this to discuss major issues, such as oral tradition, the
significance of `literature' as a western import, representations
of Africa in western writing, African writing against colonialism
and its themes and politics in a post-colonial world, popular
writing and the representation of women.
