Items related to Focus on Criticism: No.7 (African Literature Today)
Synopsis
First published in 1975, this volume of the series continues in more depth the debate on the role of critics and the purpose of criticism. As Eldred Jones reminds the reader in his Editorial: "African Literature Today has always aimed to be a forum for discussion ... Not surprisingly some opinions have provoked strong reactions. Indeed where there is time reactions are deliberately sought so that differing opinions can appear close to each other....African Literature Today is happy to serve as the threshing floor." The lively exchanges on who is best placed to judge African literature and how best to teach it continue both in responding articles and in the Comments section of the volume. Eldred Jones in his Editorial again embraces this debate citing Ernest Emenyonu's reminder of the Igbo proverb: "The world is like a mask dancing; if you want to see it you must not stand in one place."
