Ghanaian writer Kwei Armah refreshes an old debate

The debate is not new. Chinua Achebe is considered to be one of the greatest writers coming from the African continent. His novel ‘Things fall apart‘ celebrates its 60th birthday this year. This should be cause for celebrations. But the Ghanaian writer Ayi Kwei Armah has some other opinions on the works of Chinua Achebe and the African Writers Series, that has been so instrumental in giving a voice to many budding and flowering African writers.

In this article a new collection of essays by Kwei Armah is visited and the old polemics is still there.

I enjoy reading about Africa. New books. Old books. By African writers. By non-African writers. Novel. History. Travel. Biographies. Autobiographies. Politics. Colonialism. Poetry.

  1. When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me
    when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
    There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!

  2. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you,
    you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something
    regarding this.

  3. At this time it appears like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
