TEN scholarly essays /reviews from South
Africa, Nigeria, Cameroun, Germany, Canada, the United States and
Netherlands are available
in this current
Journal of African Literature and
Culture JALC
(4) which focuses on the prose and dramatic fictions of Anglophone, Lusophone and Francophone writers from across Africa and the African
Diaspora.
The Journal contains three phases of literary criticisms involving rejoinders from past-present concerns, oratorical strategies of narrative, and issues of cultural and contemporary modernity. The dramatic literatures of Ama Ata Aidoo, Tess Onwueme and Femi Osofisan have been re-examined in addition to fresh insights on the prose writings of Bessora, Bessie Head, Mia Couto, Coetzee, Laye, Ce, and younger writers of the new tradition.
The JALC No. 4 (2007) journal issue inaugurates a widening trend in African literary criticism that embraces formerly uncharted currents in African imaginative literatures. It is predicated upon a literary awakening that has been consistent with the attempt towards the collegiate vision of imaginative reconstruction and critical development of literary and cultural Africa in a way that departs from old attitudes thereby crystallizing in vaster terrains of literary expression and appreciation.
