Kole Omotoso gives a trans-Saharan view of Africa, Funso Aiyejina a West Indian perspective highlighting the work of George Lamming and Denis Williams, and Katherine Frank examines the relevance of feminist criticism to the African novel, Other contributors compare and contrast the works of European, American and African writers: Graham Greene and Dadie; Soyinka and Beckett; Laye, Lamming and Wright; Camus and Cesaire; Yeats and J. P. Clark; Equiano and Defoe; Ernest Gaines and Oyono"
