Deals with studies of how African writers, as historical witnesses, have handled the recreation of war as a cataclysmic phenomenon in various locations on the continent. This work explores the subject from a variety of perspectives: panoramic, regional, national and through comparative studies.

Since the second half of the twentieth century, no single phenomenon has marred the image and development of Africa more than senseless fratricidal wars which rapidly followed the political independence of nations. This issue of African Literature Todayis devoted to studies of how African writers, as historical witnesses, have handled the recreation of war as a cataclysmic phenomenon in various locations on the continent. The contributors explore the subject from a variety of perspectives: panoramic, regional, national and through comparative studies. War has enriched contemporary African literature, but at what price to human lives, peace and the environment? Ernest Emenyonu is Professor of the Department of Africana Studies University of Michigan-Flint. The contributors include: Ernest N. Emenyonu, Chimalum Nwankwo, Christine Matzke, Clement A. Okafor, Iniobong I. Uko, Oike Machiko, Sophie Ogwude, Maurice Taonezvi Vambe, Zoe Norridge and, Isidore Diala.

Recenzijas

The African Literature Today series has greatly enriched the study of contemporary African writing. [ ...] These articles provide real insights for the reading and understanding of political instability and volatility in most parts of Africa. [ ...] This volume stands out clearly as a groundbreaking one in that it privileges all forms of African creativity as well as authors irrespective of sex or class. [ It] is a brilliant attempt to weave an 'authentic history' of wars in Africa, and is a thoroughly researched project that opens a door into Africa's soul and its unpredictable and precarious condition. * AFRICAN RESEARCH AND DOCUMENTATION *
