Abstract:Modern African literature, in the general pattern of other literatures, may be said to have settled down after a period of intense activity that produced a stream of works ranging in quality from dull to interesting to occasionally outstanding. Striking in this survey of contemporary African literature is that during 1966-1967 only two writers referred to in the article voice any social or political criticism, the poet Lenrie Peters of Gambia and the novelist Camara Laye of Guinea.
