Writers and scholars from around the world celebrate the achievements of Nigerian writer Soyinka, who became the first African Nobel laureate in 1986 and speaks often and eloquently for justice
and freedom throughout Africa. The 30 essays cover salutatory musings for the master’s taste; the canvas is universal: philosophy, literature, and the politics of redemption; harvest of
season’s past: memoirs, conversations, and palavers; the museum, African art, and music; poetry for the threshold; and tradition and the modernity of governance. Distributed in the US by Lynne
Rienner Publishers. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
