Its innovation is that it traces stylistic devices used by successive generations of black writers back to such sources as African orature, indigenous cultures and languages, and indigenization and creolization of South African languages. 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aSociolinguistics$zSouth Africa 606 $aSouth African prose literature (English)$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aStyle, Literary 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aSociolinguistics 615 0$aSouth African prose literature (English)$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aStyle, Literary. 676 $a823.009968 700 $aBriault Manus$b Vicki$f1952-$01689913 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822021703321 996 $aEmerging traditions$94065300 997 $aUNINA
