ISBN: 9780852555248 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. African women writers have come a long way since the 1960s when they were hardly acknowledged or noticed as serious writers. In the past four decades their works have been steadily rising in quantity and quality. Today these writers are seriously redefining images of womanhood, providing new visions, and reshaping erstwhile distorted characterizations of African women in fiction.

Alt 27 New Novels in African Literature Today
ISBN: 9780852555729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a seminal work that discusses the validity of the perception that the new generation of African novelists is remarkably different in vision, style, and worldview from the older generation. The contention is that the older generation novelists who were too close to the colonial period in Africa had invariably made culture-conflict and little else their dominant thematic concern while the younger generation novelists are more versatile in their thematic preoccupations, and are more global in their vision and style. Do the facts in the novels justify and validate these claims? The 13...

Contributors here take a close look at the African short story to re-define its own peculiar pedigree, chart its trajectory, critique its present state and examine its creative possibilities. They examine how the short story and the novel complement each other, or exist in contradistinction, within the...

ISBN: 9781847010971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1965, Chinua Achebe, in his classic essay "The Novelist as Teacher," declared that the "African past - with all its imperfections - was not one long night of savagery from which the early Europeans acting on God's behalf, delivered them." That assertion included a still reverberating sentiment shared by many of the first generation of African writers that it is possible to reclaim that distorted past creatively in order to show and understand "where and when the rain started beating Africa." Many genres and forms of literary and cultural production have recalled and recorded and...
