Here is an introduction to the history of English writing from East and West Africa drawing on a range of texts from the slave diaspora to the post-war upsurge in African English language and literature from these regions.
'Clearly here is a multi-purpose volume where in-depth discussions to the highest critical standards of major literacy works are found besides and intimately integrated into an overall agenda of great historical sophistication and cultural sensitivity........
Griffiths' rendering of this area of African writing in English has undoubtedly set a standard for a long time to come.'
Klaus Stierstorfer, University of Desseldorf, Germany.
'..a thorough overview of the field which does far more, and more carefully and convincingly, than is usual in an introductory enterprise'.
Stephanie Jones, SOAS, Interventions, Vol 4 (1).
