Linguistics in the Service of Africa
Contributors to this volume explore Africa's needs and priorities in
research and research application in the field of English, sociolinguistic and African
languages. They emphasize the interrelation between research on languages and language
situations and attitudes in the African context.
This calls for a sociolinguistic approach and a collaboration between specialists in
English and African languages from "the South" as well as from "the North".

Koffi Anyinefa
Littérature et Politique en Afrique Noire
The relations and the mutual interdependance of politics and literature are
one of the key topics in the critical discourse on African literature in European
languages. Koffi Anyinefa focuses his attention on the literary production of one
country, the Congolese Republic, formerly Popular Republic of Congo, which is presented
as a case study. But it is always made clear that the insights gained from the critical
analysis of Congolese literary texts are also valid for many other African countries and
literatures.
Anyinefa distinguishes texts according to structural and thematic categories: novels
that focus on ideological issues, on political structures, and the personal styles of
leadership - novels of dictatorship. Thus, the realities of political problems and
governance are viewed in relation to the intellectual responses and the mimetic
treatment of these realities by the writers. Politics and literary production are seen
as a process of mutual interdependance.
"...a good book - serious, well-documented , filled with informative details,
well-written, based on a solid set of references - a book that deserves to be read."
- Roger Chemain in Research in African Literature (RAL) (1993)
