Landlines in African Literary Studies
ISBN: 9789004312692 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The notion of 'landlines' intimates communication, and is a fairly safe bet as far as most of the writing offered here, critical and creative, is concerned. In a way, of course, the metaphor is a rearguard action, and blows up in one's face, as it were, suggesting as it does a system of telephonic communication that is no longer typical of Africa, which is at the forefront of cellphone culture. On the more positive side, it is hoped that 'landlines' evoke traditional values, permitting the endorsement of communicative standards that are higher than those fostered by the 'etherial' chaos of...

Pepper-pot of Cultures
ISBN: 9789042009288 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The terms 'creole' and 'creolization' have witnessed a number of significant semantic changes in the course of their history. Originating in the vocabulary associated with colonial expansion in the Americas it had been successively narrowed down to the field of black American culture or of particular linguistic phenomena. Recently 'creole' has expanded again to cover the broad area of cultural contact and transformation characterizing the processes of globalization initiated by the colonial migrations of past centuries. The present volume is intended to illustrate these various stages either...

Spheres Public and Private : Western Genres in African Literature
ISBN: 9789042033757 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 712 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The coverage displayed here is predominantly on sub-Saharan literary production, and with a - perhaps systemic - focus on important aspects of political history and socio-political structures (including marxian analyses of the 'public sphere') and such crucial arenas as religious discipline, the tension between tradition and modernity, ecological awareness, family, and gender. Most of the discussions are traditionally content-oriented, but there are at least two essays (on Soyinka's Ake and on Amma Darko's The Housemaid) that attempt to come to grips narratologically with the medium of prose...

Derek Walcott, The Journeyman Years, Volume 1 : Culture, Society, Literature, and Art: Occasional Prose 1957-1974
ISBN: 9789042037564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 572 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the same period in which Derek Walcott was pouring immense physical, emotional, and logistical resources into the foundation of a viable first-rate West Indian theatre company and continuing to write his inimitable poetry, he was also busy writing newspaper reviews, chiefly for the Trinidad Guardian. His prodigious reviewing activity extended far beyond those areas with which one might most readily associate his interests and convictions. As Gordon Rohlehr once presciently observed, "If one wants to see a quotidian workaday Walcott, one should go back to [his] well over five hundred...
