The first two novels, which meticulously scan the deterioration of Africas socio-political and economic institutions, provide the rationale to legitimize resistance and the collective action of Africas masses to end corruption and domination. Hope in the Midst of Despair looks at these two novels, widely acknowledged by critics as Africas most piercing and daring protest fiction, as preparatory and necessary works that mirror sun-Saharan African reality through their exhaustive diagnosis of the regions social and political ills. Based on what the diagnosis reveals, Armah offers cures for the "diseased" continent in the next three novels.
