Social theory and social theorizing about Africa has largely
ignored African literature. However, because writers are some of
the continent's finest social thinkers, they have produced - and
continue to produce - works which constitute potential sources for
the analysis of social thought, and for constructing social theory,
in and beyond the continent. This comprehensive collection examines
the relationship between African literature and African social
thought. It explores the evolution and aesthetics of social thought
in African fiction, and African writers' conceptions of power and
authority, legitimacy, history and modernity, gender and sexuality,
culture, epistemology, globalization, and change and continuity in
Africa. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Contemporary African Studies.
