In the 21st century, however, there has been a gradual but certain shift away from the "write-back" discourse paradigm, towards more integrative, globally inflected cultural interpretive models in Africa. This book celebrates the emergence of new interpretive paradigms such as in African philosophy, gender studies and literature. 606 $aAfrican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism$zAfrica 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aEthics in literature 607 $aAfrica$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aAfrica$xIntellectual life$y21st century 615 0$aAfrican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 676 $a809.896 700 $aEze$b Chielozona$0941898 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778939803321 996 $aPostcolonial imaginations and moral representations in African literature and culture$93850962 997 $aUNINA
