Abstract:Although this article centers around reviewing 1) The Writer in Modern Africa, ed. Per Wastberg (Stockholm, 1967), 2) Cosmo Pieterse and Donald Munro (eds.). Protest and Conflict in African Literature (London, 1965), 3) G.D. Killam, The Novels of Chinua Achebe (New York, 1969), part of it is devoted to the field of critical interest which African literature represents today.
