AFRICAN TEXTUALITIES: TEXTS, PRE-TEXTS AND CONTEXTS OF AFRICAN LITERATURE
By: Bernth Lindfors
ISBN: 0865436169
African literary texts can be approached in a variety of ways. They may be examined in isolation as verbal artifacts that have a unique integrity. They may be studied in relation to other texts that preceded and followed them. Or they may be seen against the backdrop of the times, traditions and circumstances that helped to shape them. In this book, all these approaches have been utilized, sometimes singly, sometimes in combination.
