Africa, more than most, has been peculiarly prone to the literary as to the political rezoning process, though its "intrinsically post-modernist" qualities have understandably been exploited in colonial and expatriate writing about Africa rather than in African writing itself. --Derek Wright
While I question the scholar's use of the word "understandably" in this quote, I also, in truth, rather think that the quote itself is a very good one. And it is also one that captures at least one of the many angles from which I shall critically engage selected books on Africa. To wit, Afroliterati plans to do its own "rezoning."
