Ethiopia Unbound: A Critical Edition de J. E. Casely Hayford

Ethiopia Unbound: A Critical Edition

Autor J. E. Casely Hayford Editat de Jeanne-Marie Jackson, Adwoa A. Opoku-Agyemang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2024
This book shines a new light on J. E. Casely Hayford’s Ethiopia Unbound, widely considered the first English-language novel published by an African writer. Casely Hayford drew material from his eminent career as a barrister, statesman, and newspaper editor to augment the book’s fictional elements, showcasing the tremendous intellectual versatility of West Africa. Moving between London and the Gold Coast, as well as across the past, present, and imagined future of Casely Hayford’s Fante civilization, Ethiopia Unbound is an essential record of how Africans at the turn of the twentieth century made sense of their place in a rapidly changing world.

Recenzii

“Jeanne-Marie Jackson and Adwoa A. Opoku-Agyemang have brought back to life a seminal work by one of the founding figures of modern Ghanaian—indeed African—intellectual and political history: J. E. Casely Hayford’s Ethiopia Unbound. Their introduction and explanatory notes to the text are priceless. This is a major accomplishment.”
—Ato Sekyi-Otu, emeritus professor of social and political thought, York University, author of Left Universalism, Africacentric Essays
