Even in the
best of times, the artist is constantly reaching beyond the present; the
severity of Africa's present situation of crisis must urge our artists even
farther into their version of a new life. In "Beyond Survival," some
of the best interpreters of African literature focus on "the role of the
creative artist as a critical assessor, confidence builder and inspirer to
excellence."
The central theme of this
important collection of essays is inspired by the belief that given the severity
of the current crisis of life for African peoples, and given the intuitive and
cultivated ability of the creative artist to monitor and accurately capture the
complexities of any human institution, close attention to the world of African
and African-heritage writers should provide not only important insights into
various dimensions of the problem, but also and perhaps even more crucial,
subtle but reliable pointers to probable solutions. More than any other group of
people, it is perhaps to the artists we must turn for a creative but timely
realizable version of the future.
The contributors fall under
five broad headings, beginning with an introductory section featuring three
important addresses delivered during the 1994 ALA annual conference in Accra,
Ghana, at which these papers were first presented, as well as a specially
commissioned essay in memory of the late Flora Nwapa, one of Africa's best known
pioneer women writers. The four other sections present a total of twenty essays
focusing on "shifting paradigms," "New Life: Language and
artistic tradition," "New Life: Language, Literature & National
Policy," and "Resistance Strategies."
