to a literature of transition songs of freedom in which authors reflect on their identity within the context of recent colonialism and dictatorship. An Introduction to the Literature of Equatorial Guinea is the first book-length critical study of this literature, a multigenre analysis encompassing fifty years of poetry, drama, essays, and prose fiction. Marvin A. Lewis provides an accessible introduction to the work of central writers in a new area of literary study and includes the most exhaustive and up-to-date bibliography available on the subject. This is a groundbreaking work that broadens our understanding of African literature and will be the bedrock for future studies of this Hispanic corner of Africa.

A new African national literature in Spanish,
By
This review is from: An Introduction to the Literature of Equatorial Guinea: Between Colonialism and Dictatorship (Afro-Romance Writers Series) (Paperback)
This pioneer study on the literature of Equatorial Guinea, an African small country which became independent from Spain in 1968, and is the only sub-Saharan African nation having Spanish as official language and language of culture, open the way to those who may be interesting in discoving and enlarging their knowledge about a most peculiar literary reality. In other words, the only one that makes it possible for the Spanish language to express, share, and hybridize itself with the cultural framework of Black Africa. It is also very well-written, original and informative.
