Still Beating the Drum: Critical Perspectives on Lewis Nkosi (Cross/Cultures 81) (Cross/Cultures: Readings in the Post/Colonial Literatures in)

About this book

FOR ME, THREE ASPECTS of Lewis Nkosi's work as literary critic stand out: first, his position as a 'migrant exile' (writing from Britain, the USA, continental Europe, or elsewhere in Africa); secondly, his sustained commitment to Africa and South Africa and to the literature produced from here; thirdly, the unmistakably exacting quality of most of the criticism - its seriousness, its trenchant ('non-nepotistic') tone, its prescience, and its constant evolution or expansion.
