POST-COLONIAL AFRICAN LITERATURE IN ENGLISH

Abstract

Post-colonial African literature in English represents a vital and evolving body of work that addresses the historical, political, and social realities of Africa post-independence. This study aims to explore the major themes, voices, and stylistic innovations that have emerged from African authors writing in English. It examines how these writers critique colonial legacies, address issues of identity, nationhood, and diaspora, and reflect the diversity of post-colonial African experiences. By analyzing key literary works, the study aims to illuminate the ways in which post-colonial African literature contributes to global conversations on race, identity, and resistance.
