About this ebook
With
new integrative and indigenous approaches to literary affairs the focus
of this volume is on the influence of tradition in African writing.
Using the work of Chinua Achebe two scholars from outside Africa offer
insight on oratorical devices in modern African fiction, two chapters
follow which, by fusing traditional elements in transitional societies,
illustrate the cultural awareness that touch on the exalted role of the
artist in their communities. The post colonial rhetoric also continues
with echoes of political commitment on modern poetry - town issues in
the discourse of Africa's literary progress in the last decade. The
growing concern for African youth development is at the heart of a
dialogue with children's fiction writer Anezi Okoro. Two scholars of
Africa orature have written on the birth songs of Cameroonian women
performers and the riddle contents of youth artists from Nigerian in a
manner which recognises the immediate relevance of this cherished but
neglected part of African literary aesthetics.
