Opis

‘A useful starting point.... It is the breadth of the coverage that makes the Encyclopedia of African Literature stand out.’ – Booklist/RBB, June 2003

‘[A] comprehensive work for general readers.... Highly recommended.' –Pennsylvania School Librarians Association Best Reference Titles 2003

The most comprehensive reference work on African literature to date, this easy-to-use book contains over 600 alphabetically arranged entries that cover major and less established African authors and texts, criticism and theory, and African Literature’s development as a field of scholarship.

Now available in paperback, this volume is an essential resource for students of African literature and a useful tool for those considering African culture across the fields of Literary Studies, African Studies, Anthropology, Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Studies.
