Ghanaian Literatures: (Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies)

Ghana, one of the smaller countries in Africa, is a linguistically and culturally pluralistic society that has had a disproportionately large impact on the rest of Africa. Although English is the official language, works are also published in vernacular languages. This comprehensive introduction to the literature of Ghana is organized by type of literature--oral art, popular literature, and elite, primarily English-language literature. Some essays appear for the first time; all reflect the wide range of Ghana's creative writing.Richard Priebe is the author of 'Ghanaian Literatures: (Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies)', published 1988 under ISBN 9780313264382 and ISBN 0313264384.
