African
identities have been written and rewritten in both British
and African literature for decades. These revisions have opened up
new formulations of what it really means to be British or African.
By comparing texts by authors from both African and British back¬
grounds across a wide variety of political orientations, Simon Lewis
analyzes the deeper relationships between colonizer and colonized.
He brings issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality into the analysis,
providing new ways for cultural scholars to think about how empire
and colony have influenced one another from the late eighteenth
century through the decades following World War II.
In his comparisons, Lewis focuses on commonalities rather than
differences. By examining the work of writers including Chinua
Achebe,
Wole
Soyinka, T. S. Eliot, Abdulrazak Gurnah,
Zoë
Wicomb,
Yvette Christiansë,
and Chris van
Wyk,
he demonstrates how Brit¬
ain s former African colonies influence British culture just as much
as African culture was influenced by British colonization. Together,
these readings make the case that if we are to look to literature as a
truly liberating force for Africa and Africans, we must move beyond
both the Africanism of colonialist discourse and the Africanism of
pan-Africanist rhetoric.
Lewis brings a uniquely informed perspective to the topic, having
lived in South Africa, Tanzania, and Great Britain, and having taught
African literature for over a decade. The book demonstrates his ex¬
pert knowledge of local cultural history from
1945
to the present, in
both Africa and Britain.
