African Horizons: The Landscapes of African Fiction: Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies: Contemporary Black Poets

Autor Christine Loflin Dillon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 ian 1998
As non-African writers have created images of Africa that suit their own needs, African writers have countered these images with African landscapes that emphasize the landmarks and horizons that are significant for Africans. In this volume, Loflin explores the importance of landscape description in African fiction, arguing that discussion of landscape can reveal the geographic, religious, political, and social boundaries of the text. In her analysis, Loflin examines themes of nationalism and ethnic identity, showing how the question of landscape is further complicated when writers in forced or voluntary exile from their native countries reconfigure their relationship to the landscape of Africa.
