    Extractions: ONE of South Africa's youngest crime novelists has made his book not only socially relevant, contemporary and accessible to an international market, but also deal with various social issues that bothers him. Richard Kunzmann's first book, Bloody Harvests, was launched by Pan MacMillan recently - just weeks before his 28th birthday - and tells of a trail of murder that leads into an underworld of poverty, superstition and witchcraft. He visited Cape Town, Stellenbosch and surrounds recently to talk about his book, his beliefs and writing. He says he included his personal social issues such as the level of violence and the public's reaction to it. "We have the attitude: 'Let's forget about the reality of the country we live in'. Our squatter camps are so open and vulnerable, our white suburbs hidden behind walls, and we cling to xenophobia over issues such as the immigrants in our midst and traditional healers," he says. His book was accepted in the UK. "The publishing industry in South Africa is limited and there is not a big local crime novel market," Richard explains.

    Extractions: This reference work provides a succinct account of the development of African society from the first appearance of man to the complex polity of today. Kingdoms and Empires are only part of the story. The Atlas covers the development of modern man, the differentiation and spread of African languages, the first crossings of the Sahara, the exploration of the Niger, and the search for 'the fountains of the Nile'. Gold and ivory lure traders from far away; Christendom and Islam compete for African attention. Colin McEvedy outlines this progress with the aid of sixty maps and a clear, concise text. Though his synthesis will be especially useful to those involved in the teaching of African history, its broad perspectives will undoubtedly appeal also to the general reader. 144 pages, and sixty maps. Diop, Cheikh Anta.

    Extractions: Both Soyinka and Conrad discuss the fear, terror, and oppression Africa endured under its period of European domination. At the turn of the century, colonialism had reached its peak in the African states. With colonialism came a realization of its dark future and ultimate futility. Heart of Darkness , a story Conrad derived from his personal experience in the Congo in 1890, exemplifies this realization through the tale of Marlow, who confronts and reflects upon the horrible truth he witnesses in the heart of the jungle. At this time, the Belgian Congo, though nominally independent, in essence belonged to Leopold II of Belgium. In later years, as Conrad shows in Heart of Darkness, many publicly exposed the appalling abuses involved in the colonial exploitation. Shocked by his experiences in 1890, Conrad views colonialism as a moral vice and a cultural bully of the Europeans, clearly elucidating the vices of western culture in Africa. In the novel, for example, the railway truck, a vestige of European civilization, lies "there on its back with its wheels in the air. The thing looked as dead as the carcass of some animal." Remnants of European society, rendered useless in the jungle, symbolically display Conrad's idea of the futility of colonialismalthough it may succeed in establishing a facade of western culture, it ultimately fails. Soyinka, although writing more than half a century after Conrad, as well as from the view point of a native African instead of a European (Conrad was Polish), saw the same problems of colonialism as did Conrad. Yet, Soyinka reacted against

    Extractions: Camilla L. Greene This unit is designed for ninth grade students who are reading four or five years below grade level. This is my first year teaching English to the low level, beige cluster freshmen students at Hillhouse High School, Working with these students, I have observed that they enjoy reading aloud and have vivid imaginations. They often keep each other enthralled with their much embellished stories of out-of-school events. These stories deal with their own or their friends’ heroic misadventures. The reading, telling, retelling and writing of myths and folktales will help these students use talents they already have and help them improve writing skills and group participation skills. Other objectives of this unit are to enable students to appreciate African and Greek myths; develop their perceptions and imaginations; enhance their cultural and literary background; improve their creative writing and oral presentation skills. The objective of expanding upon the students’ cultural and literary backgrounds is particularly significant because the students whom I have describe appear to be fixed in their ‘here and now” experiences, They have little or no knowledge about ages or cultures past. And, as many of these students are Afro-Americans, the study of African myths will help them to understand their unique culture better.

    Extractions: Rebecca Brown The great myths can teach us many things for in them we find history and geography and astronomy and word origins. But most of all, we find the struggles of human beings including all the passions and frailties that are to be found in humans today. We are connected to these ancient civilizations in Greece and Rome by some words in our language, to be sure, but we are even more directly connected to them by these myths, for it is in these tales that we see ourselves. We struggle just as the ancients did to know where we fit on this planet and how we should conduct our lives, and we wonder on occasion just as any culture does, whether our lives and actions are all part of some grand plan. When earlier civilizations struggled (to understand the mysteries of life) they wrote stories to help them see their world and their place in the world more clearly. The Greeks had a word for it all right; to them the word for story was mythos The great myths are valuable in their own right, not just because they provide the mental “hooks” or schemata, but also because they enable us to gather and understand new material. These myths have survived through the centuries because they have had something important to say, and because people of widely disparate ages and cultures have found in these tales lessons and inspiration for their own lives. This enables us to appreciate people of all cultures.

     Extractions: The Signifying Monkey [This excerpt is from the first chapter of Gates's important book, The Signifying Monkey: A Theory of African American Literary Criticism (New York: Oxford, 1988). In it, Gates sets forth an Africanist theory of interpretation and its origins; the second half of the book uses the trickster figures of Esu and the Signifying Monkey to read 20th-century African American literature (e.g. Zora Neale Hurston, Ishmael Reed) and to explore the contemporary black vernacular. Gates's project depends on developing a theoretical discourse "generated from within the black tradition itself, autonomously" (xx). Gates is perhaps the best-known African American scholar in the United States. Currently at Harvard, he has edited the Norton Anthology of African American Literature and has recently completed a BBC series on "The Wonders of Africa."] vernaculus ("native"), taken in turn from verna ("slave born in his master's house").
