Afrika is an imaginary space, a 'k' and an exclamation mark away from the
processes, histories and conflicts that this, Adam Schwartzman's second
collection, takes for its subject. It is a space that is at once estranging
and, with its wily appropriations, home ground for the citizen of the
English language. Above all, in projecting 'the great out-there' into one
fictive universe, Afrika eschews personality and vigorously re-affirms
community of descent, inheritance and association -- as the source of
authority, both poetic and political."

Brings together selections of ten outstanding South African poets, to show, in writing drawn from more than four decades, from very different cultures and traditions, a vital and diverse literature. Representing a vision of a pluralistic Africanism the anthology takes the poetry of the region away from the dichotomy which apartheid promoted.
