- catalog abstract ""This anthology presents the voices of a new generation of African poets, drawn from across the continent and representing a wide range of themes, styles, and ideologies. These contemporary voices have been shaped in the realities of postcolonial Africa from the mid-1970s to the present. In contrast to the preceding generation - forged in the years of nationalist movements and independence - they are less concerned with European culture and colonial oppression and draw more on indigenous poetic and literary techniques than on euromodernist mannerisms." "The poets featured here focus on internal political, economic, and cultural issues in African societies and on their own experiences in the world, revealing a measured self-criticism of the paths their societies are following."--Jacket.".
