THE POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURE OF LUSOPHONE AFRICA IN JOHANNESBURG

Editor: Patrick Chabal with with Moema Parente Augel, David Brookshaw, Ana Mafalda Leite and Caroline Shaw Publisher: Witswatersrand University Press () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 314 Dimensions: 22 x 14 x 2.5 cm +++ by Patrick Chabal +++ This volume examines the Portuguese and Creole languages of the five African Portuguese-speaking countries: Angola; Cape Verde; Guinea-Bissau; Mozambique; and Seo Tome and Principe. The introduction explores the cultural and historical context within which the literature of these five countries was written. It is followed by detailed discussion of, and extensive quotations from, the prose and poetry published by these writers since independence.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
