Dealing with Evils - Essays on Writing from Africa

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.

Annie Gagiano abordeaza mai mult de douazeci de texte din diferite regiuni si perioade africane, variind de la transcriptii ale povestirilor antice la texte clasice engleze africane si scrieri recente despre probleme sociale si de gen. Gagiano se concentreaza pe angajamentul acestor texte cu fortele care dauneaza si ameninta viata in Africa si curajul politic al acestor autori, preocuparea sociala si delimitarea subtila a experientelor personajelor lor.
