  • African Literature

    African Literature

    Literature is yet another genre that Africa’s intellectual elites struggle to elucidate coherence for dissemination and consumption to ingrain within viable institutions. Modern African literature is considered a byproduct as well as an explicit goal engineered at the Berlin Conference (1884-5) by the imperialist nations of Europe.

I consider Helvarg’s essay, “A Storm This Time,” to be a casual analysis showing the consequences of human action (or possibly, inaction) in relation to
