Africa Pulse
Africa Pulse Chris Dunton There are eight volumes in the Africa Pulse series recently published by Oxford University Press (South Africa). This set of books represents one of the most dynamic contributions to the African literary heritage for many years. As the publisher's note states, "the texts translated for this series have been identified time and again by scholars of literature in southern Africa as classics in their original languages" (Ha…
Wherever the Bus Is Headed”
Seven novels are discussed in detail, published between 2015 and 2018, in order to demonstrate the current diversity of African fiction in respect of subject-matter, theme, form, and narrative technique (especially focalization). The limitations of the study are noted, in particular its almost exclusive focus on novels written in English. Despite the diversity noted above, the following recognizable trends are identified and discussed: an increas…

The paper argues that while Mopeli-Paulus's account of dispossession has a mater…
