We have particularised on theoretical and critical perspectives that show how the controversial influence of westernisation of Africa has demanded remedial visions and counteractive propositions to the cycle of abuses and fragmentation of the continent. We have consequently distilled some very significant historic and informative insights on modern African and black literary traditions methodically espoused to articulate the greater unity in the diversities, fusions and hybrids that have been embedded in the external and subjective realities of our universe. 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism$zAfrica 606 $aAfrican literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aAfrican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.93358 702 $aCe$b Chinenye 702 $aSmith$b Charles 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821470603321 996 $aCrossing borders in African literature$94015696 997 $aUNINA
