520 1 $a"This special issue of African Literature Today focuses on new novels by emerging as well as established African novelists. This is a seminal work that in various ways seeks to discuss the validity of the general notion that the new generation of African novelists is remarkably different in vision, style, and worldview from the older generation. The contention is that the older generation novelists who were too close to the colonial period in Africa had invariably made culture-conflict and little else their dominant thematic concern while the younger generation novelists are more versatile in their thematic preoccupations, and are more global in their vision and style. Do the facts in the novels justify and validate these claims?"--BOOK JACKET.
