About the Book
No longer is African literature, in its dominant thrust, defined by an apologetic or polemical response to the representation of Africa in the colonial ideology, and African thought generally by an effort of reformulation of the African image, in what Valentin Mudimbe has called, in his work The Invention of Africa (1988), “a discourse of succession.” …This new literature, with the states of consciousness it illuminates, thus marks a break with the effort of elaboration of a counter discourse in relation to the colonial imposition that we associate with the work of an earlier generation of African writers and intellectuals.

Seller: Buy Books LtdI ran into my teacher while walking to school the next day. She had quite a few folders and bags in her hands. She had difficulty carrying them. ¨Could you help me, Jasmine?” she asked. I obliged willingly and took a few folders from her. I felt cheerful helping out my teacher. I started hopping towards the teacher’s room. As I was hopping right, left and backwards, I ran into a student. All the folders in my arms dropped on the floor.
