AP7. keywords: Literature Africa Poetry Anthology. FROM THE PUBLISHER - LEWIS NKOSI, the South African journalist, wrote recently in the Observer,' Black consciousness really begins with the shock of discovery that one is not only black but is also non-white.' The resonance of this remark extends in many directions and will find its peculiar echoes in many situations. The black South African makes this discovery through being utterly rejected by a hostile white-dominated society. But his particular plight, tragic enough in itself, is not of much significance so far as the origin of the following poems is concerned. The discovery may, however, be made in utterly different circumstances. The French African made it precisely because of his acceptance - on certain terms - by a metropolitan white society. This society was quite prepared to forgive him his colour just so long as he would clothe it decently in the culture, religion, and manners of a Western civilization. The effect of this approach was to force upon him a reappraisal of what it meant to be a non-white in such a situation. Had his colour really no more significance than this? Was he not, after all, rather a black man existing in his own rich if ruined world than a non-white entering on sufferance into another? Thus the effect of the policy of assimilation was to turn the attention of the assimile back upon the one factor which the colonizer wanted him to forget - his blackness. Smothered by the paternal embrace of metropolitan culture, he escaped from it to examine his own with fresh eyes and new understanding.' - from the Introduction by the Editors. inventory #33238.

First Edition
Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First. This modern poetical geography of Africa is unique. It draws on sixteen countries to present the work of black poets writing in English, French and Portuguese, although all the poems, many of which appear for the first time here, are presented in English. As a sample of contemporary African writing of the 1960s they reveal an interesting blend of public and personal statements. Poetry composed in African languages has been left out, because no two editors could possibly have covered the enormous field. This ommission, however, does not impair the clear picture of emotional, social, and political pressures (fashionably termed "Negritude") as they are reflected by Africa's imaginative or committed poets of the 1960s. This book is in excellent condition apart from a previous owner's name inscribed on the top right hand corner of the opening page. Book.
