About This Item
London: Flame Tree Publishing, 2019. New. First Edition, First printing with number line starting with 1. The small book is tight and square with solid hinges and binding, good tips, and clean unmarred boards. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Illustrated endpapers. No dust jacket as issued. Foreword by Wanjiru Koinange. 160 pages. 4 1/4" X 6" tall.
African poetry is unique in its complexity, both because of its linguistic diversity and the devastating impact of colonialism and slavery. From the traditional oral poets to the vast outpouring of writing generated throughout the Atlantic slave trade, beautifully lyrical and haunting works are reproduced here to create a wide picture of African culture. The collection includes a mix of poetry –humorous, celebratory, thoughtful, and angry – and above all is a look at the history of Africa through the voices of those who lived through it.
