Homage to Aime Cesaire, Our Grand Man of Letters
In Search of Camara Laye
Against the background of persistent rumors that Camara Laye's four novels were not in fact his creations but were the products of various hands—allegations that Adele King examines extensively in her book Rereading Camara Laye—the paper considers the arguments invoked to support the case against Camara Laye and argues that these claims are not sufficiently grounded to justify denying Laye authorship of the works attributed to him. The case of La…
Slavery and the African Imagination
One of the most interesting developments in recent years in the field of African American studies has been the expansion of its horizons beyond the North American theater of Black life and expression that has for so long been featured as its principal focus, and often, in many academic departments, as the only one. Yet, as the early scholarship which serves as the foundation for the field demonstrated, the Black experience in the New World has al…

[peasant, strike the earth with your daba in the earth, there is a haste that the syllable of event cannot unravel]

He came to attention with the publication in 1976 of Sur la philosophie africaine, a collection of essays spanning some ten years which had appeared in various journals and in which he developed a systematic critique of ethnophilosoph…

The Last Words of Mongo Beti
The Landscape of African Music
For too long, the field of African music has been occupied and even dominated by ethnomusicology. We have certainly much to be thankful for to this discipline, for it has provided us with valuable knowledge about the structure of our traditional music and its performance modes. Moreover, in its disciplinary and methodological association with anthropology, ethnomusicology has also brought into clear view the central role of music in African socie…
