JOURNAL OF
AFRICAN LITERATURE # 9
Approaches to
race, heroism and African writer’s memory
and reinvention of linear time are highlighted in this volume. The
heroic wisdom of African proverbs as a metagenre is rediscovered in the new writings of African scholars. The unity of
culture is highlighted in the importance of sharing equally fruits
of modern collective efforts. A multidimensional notion
of time and existence is replacing the linear time that is very much an
arbitrary creation of human materialist consciousness. And the perception of unity in
great variety broadens rather than narrows our perception of our
universe.

 Across
Borders is an attempt to commit the process of African integration in
postcoloniality and postmodernity to the exploration of perspectives on
black identities in contemporary writings and the interaction of
cultural expressions beyond the borders of Africa and across the
Atlantic.

THE
JOURNAL OF NEW POETRY NO. 6
 This
volume, in memory of Africa's Lady of Songs, Miriam
Makeba, takes historical, sociological, literary, aesthetic
perspectives on the evolution, practice and emergence of African poetry
and music as mutually reliant and dependent creative media of art in
society. It proposes that music should weave naturally, and most
perceptibly, with religious function of art,
in a social communion that holds greater purpose for individual and
communal well being.
