Rethinking Eastern African Literary and Intellectual Landscapes

By James Ogude

Bringing together diverse voices, genres and intellectual trajectories, Gikandi and Schirmer attempt to reflect on the state of production of, and engagement with, Eastern African literary cultures. The book revisits established intellectual debates and canonical texts. It also offers a powerful engagement with popular arts and performance, particularly in the manner in which genres such as drama, music and new media offer important insights into everyday life in the region.
