Abstract

This brief collection of eleven scholarly and well-documented critical essays, written largely by African university professors of language and literature who hold degrees from European and American universities, is even more restricted than the title suggests. With a half dozen or so notable exceptions, only the poetry, drama, and novels published since 1965 are discussed here. And not all West African countries are represented.
