Beschreibung:
Yulisa Amadu Maddy is a Sierra Leonean playwright, novelist, and literary critic who has taught at Morgan State University, the University of Iowa, and in Zambia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. His publications include Obasai and Other Plays; the coming-of-age novel No Past, No Present, No Future; and the co-authored African Images in Juvenile Literature: Commentaries on Neocolonialist Fiction (1996) and Apartheid and Racism in South African Children's Literature, 1985-1995 (2001).
In this book, the authors expose the neo-imperialist overtones of contemporary children's fiction about Africa. Examining the portrayal of African social customs, religious philosophies, and political structures in fiction for young people, Maddy and MacCann reveal the Western biases that often infuse stories by well-known Western authors.
