Book excerpt: Wakizingatia historia ndefu ya uandishi katika lugha ya Kiswahili, majaji wa Tuzo ya Kiswahili ya Mabati-Cornell ya Fasihi ya Afrika wameeleza: Mashairi yaliyomo katika diwani hii yametumiliwa lugha iliyojaa taswira na majazanda yanayowakilisha vyema hisia zinazoelezwa katika dhamira mbalimbali. Mshairi amefaulu sana kuzitumia mbinu na miundo kadha wa kadha ili kuyajadili maswala yanayohusu hali na mazingira tafauti tafauti katika maisha ya binadamu. Anayazungumza maswala mazito mazito, lakini kwa namna ambayo hayamuelemei msomaji wake. Bali, badala yake, huwa yanamhimiza aendelee kuyasoma. Hata yale maswala makongwe, kwa mfano uhusiano baina ya wazazi na wana wao, yanajadiliwa kwa namna ya kuvutia na kuyafanya kama kwamba ndiyo mwanzo yanaanza kujadiliwa sasa. Dotto Rangimoto ni mtunzi stadi. Na diwani hii ni mchango mkubwa katika ushairi wa Kiswahili wa zama zetu hizi.
Download or read book African Literatures as World Literature written by Alexander Fyfe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous success of writers such as Teju Cole and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie demonstrates that African literatures are now an international phenomenon. But the apparent global legibility of a small number of (mostly Anglophone) writers in the diaspora raises the question of how literary producers from the continent, both past and present, have situated their work in relation to the world and the kinds of material networks to which this corresponds. This collection shows how literatures from across the African continent engage with conceptualizations of 'the world' in relation to local social and political issues. Focusing on a wide variety of geographic, historical and linguistic contexts, the essays in this volume seek answers to the following questions: What are the topographies of 'the world' in different literary texts and traditions? What are that world's limits, boundaries and possibilities? How do literary modes and forms such as realism, narrative poetry or the political essay affect the presentation of worldliness? What are the material networks of circulation that allow African literatures to become world literature? African literatures, it emerges, do important theoretical work that speaks to the very core of world literary studies today.

Download or read book Viewing African Cinema in the Twenty first Century written by Mahir Şaul and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African cinema in the 1960s originated mainly from Francophone countries. It resembled the art cinema of contemporary Europe and relied on support from the French film industry and the French state. Beginning in 1969 the biennial Festival panafricain du cinéma et de la télévision de Ouagadougou (FESPACO), held in Burkina Faso, became the major showcase for these films. But since the early 1990s, a new phenomenon has come to dominate the African cinema world: mass-marketed films shot on less expensive video cameras. These “Nollywood” films, so named because many originate in southern Nigeria, are a thriving industry dominating the world of African cinema. Viewing African Cinema in the Twenty-first Century is the first book to bring together a set of essays offering a comparison of these two main African cinema modes. Contributors: Ralph A. Austen and Mahir Şaul, Jonathan Haynes, Onookome Okome, Birgit Meyer, Abdalla Uba Adamu, Matthias Krings, Vincent Bouchard, Laura Fair, Jane Bryce, Peter Rist, Stefan Sereda, Lindsey Green-Simms, and Cornelius Moore
