This book was released on 2008 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columbia's guides to postwar African literature paint a unique portrait of the continent's rich and diverse literary traditions. This volume examines the rapid rise and growth of modern literature in the three postcolonial nations of Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Zambia. It tracks the multiple political and economic pressures that have shaped Central African writing since the end of World War II and reveals its authors' heroic efforts to keep their literary traditions alive in the face of extreme poverty and AIDS. Adrian Roscoe begins with a list of key political events. Since writers were composing within both colonial and postcolonial contexts, he pays particular attention to the nature of British colonialism, especially theories regarding its provenance and motivation. Roscoe discusses such historical figures as David Livingstone, Cecil Rhodes, and Sir Harry Johnston, as well as modern power players, including Robert Mugabe, Kenneth Kaunda, and Kamuzu Banda. He also addresses efforts to create a literary-historical record from an African perspective, an account that challenges white historiographies in which the colonized was neither agent nor informer. A comprehensive alphabetical guide profiles both established and emerging authors and further illustrates issues raised in the introduction. Roscoe then concludes with a detailed bibliography recommending additional reading and sources. At the close of World War II the people of Central Africa found themselves mired in imperial fatigue and broken promises of freedom. This fueled a desire for liberation and a major surge in literary production, and in this illuminating guide Roscoe details the campaigns for social justice and political integrity, for education and economic empowerment, and for gender equity, participatory democracy, rural development, and environmental care that characterized this exciting period of development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claire Letwich grew up in the wild beauty of Tanganyika’s Central Region. After graduating from university in England, she decides to return to Africa to rediscover the land that has haunted her dreams. She also seeks to fulfil her destiny as a woman, and put behind her years of frustration and shame. She meets Michael, a young architect, and embarks with him on an affair which will bring joy and disabling pain. Set in East Africa in the turbulent years just after independence, this is a story of longing, of passionate engagement, and of harsh disillusion. “Africa comes vibrantly alive in these pages.” “A love story with the complexity of the real.” “An exotic, feminist road movie.” Jonathan Bower was born and educated in Ireland. He has worked in Africa and in the Arab world in radio, television, films, and as a journalist. He currently divides his time between Ireland, Provence, and North Africa. African Aftermath is his second novel.

Download or read book Echoes of a Whisper written by Mwangwegho, Lughano and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lugano Mwangwegho's Echoes of a Whisper is an imaginative array of poetic verse steeped in Africa and tackling the fraught space of being betwixt and between, within and without, memory and the present. Love runs avidly as a theme throughout and imagery thereof is at once beautiful and absurd, adding further to a sense of suspension, a sense of unease. Mwangwegho's poetry is edgy: its colour is that of tension. Yet, in such a way it speaks to both mind and soul - in places it provokes both physical and emotional reaction from the reader and the empowerment it transfers is uncanny. As his second collection of poetry, Malawian poet and short story writer Lughano Mwangwegho once again offers here writing rich in anguish and loveliness.
