The New African Poetry: An Anthology

Ojaide (African and African-American studies, U. of North Carolina) and poet Sallah present a representative sample of African poetry from the 1970s to the present. The poets explore political, economic, and cultural issues in African societies, but also their own experiences in the world. The arrangement is by region and country. Annotation c.
