Book Description
This volume is mainly a collection of papers presented at the 1995 Mandelieu conference in France which brought together artists and critics. The theme was that of contemporary African theatre in the former British and French empires. The contributions are of interest to those working in theatre generally and to those specialising in African performance, development studies and comparative literature. The varied topics include: popular theatre, Soyinka and France, syncretic theatre, comparisons between Anglophone and Francophone theatre in the Cameroon, censorship, development theatre and Sony Labou Tansi. There are also interview with Southern African writers and pieces of creative writing.

Book Description
This volume reflects one of the new areas of English Studies as it broadens to take in non-western literatures, and places more emphasis on the contexts and broader notions of `writing'. In discussing writing from and about Africa, this collection touches on studies in black writing, colonialism and imperialism and cultural development in the third world. It begins by providing a historical introduction to the main regional traditions, and then builds on this to discuss major issues, such as oral tradition, the significance of `literature' as a western import, representations of Africa in western writing, African writing against colonialism and its themes and politics in a post-colonial world, popular writing and the representation of women.

Book Description
Postcolonial literatures can be defined as the body of creative work written by authors whose lands were formerly colonized. This book is a research guide to postcolonial literatures in English, specifically from former British colonies in Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia. While this volume focuses exclusively on Anglophone literatures, it does not address those from Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand as they have already been covered in previous volumes in the series.
