Description: Africa in Narratives illuminates or proves, against the backdrop of attitudes toward nations deemed 'ethnic' or 'minorities', that literature in Africa can live up to the challenge of aesthetic imagination to form an active, refreshing part of world cultural discourse. African countries have evolved imaginatively beyond their present ephemeral stages of social and political turmoil not to talk of intellectual imitations of western thought, nation literatures should be subject to the imperative of a continental cooperation.
