Book Synopsis Emerging Perspectives on Chinua Achebe by : Ernest Emenyo̲nu
Download or read book Emerging Perspectives on Chinua Achebe written by Ernest Emenyo̲nu. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinua Achebe's influence on contemporary African literature is as much in evidence in his art of the novel as his theory of African literature and literary criticism. ISINKA (Igbo term for artistic purpose') establishes Achebe's legacy as a literary theorist and critic. In these essays scholars from around the globe assess and establish how much Achebe's extra-fictional ideas about African literature and literature in general are justified in his own creative works.'

Book Synopsis Bessie Head and the Trauma of Exile by : Joshua Agbo
Download or read book Bessie Head and the Trauma of Exile written by Joshua Agbo. This book was released on 2021-06-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates themes of exile and oppression in Southern Africa across Bessie Head’s novels and short fiction. An exile herself, arriving in Botswana as a South African refugee, Bessie Head’s fiction serves as an important example of African exile literature. This book argues that Head’s characters are driven to exile as a result of their socio- political ambivalence while still in South Africa, and that this sense of discomfort follows them to their new lives. Investigating themes of trauma and identity politics across colonial and post- colonial contexts, this book also addresses the important theme of black- on- black prejudice and hostility which is often overlooked in studies of Head’s work. Covering Head’s shorter fiction as well as her major novels When Rain Clouds Gather (1969), Maru (1971), A Question of Power (1973), Serowe: Village of the Rain Wind (1981), and A Bewitched Crossroads: An African Saga (1984), this book will be of interest to researchers of African literature and postcolonial history.
