註釋Concentrating on issues of power and change, Annie Gagiano's close reading of literary texts by Chinua Achebe, Bessie Head, and Dambudzo Marechera teases out each author's view of how colonialism affected Africa, the contribution of Africans to their own malaise, and above all, the creative, progressive, pragmatic role of many Africans during the colonial and postcolonial periods. Gagiano contends that Achebe, Head, and Marechera plays an important part in the necessary reconceptualization by Africans of themselves and their place in the global system. Treating both the consummate verbal art of these writers and their social relevance, she reveals them to be penetrating analysts who convey lucid, convincing evaluations of the failures and prospects of contemporary African societies.
