Annie Gagiano addresses more than twenty texts from various African regions and periods, ranging from transcriptions of ancient folktales to classic African English texts and recent writings on social and gender issues. Gagiano focuses on these texts' engagement with the forces that damage and threaten life in Africa and these authors' political courage, social concern, and subtle delineation of their characters' experiences. A new preface and several new essays bring the collection up to date with the latest developments in the field.
