First published in 1983, this volume looks at new developments in the African novel and also at those aspects of more established works that received less critical attention, such as writing from southern Africa, to which censorship and war restricted access. Eldred Jones in his Editorial also cites the 'searing impact of the Nigerian Civil War, on the consciousness, not just on Nigerians, but on Africans as a whole'.
