These writers took part in the Second Stockholm Conference for African Writers, organized by the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies in April 1986. They came together to discuss current issues in African literature. These included the role of the writer in society, and the writer’s commitment to either society or to his or her craft, an issue which had also been discussed at the first Stockholm conference in 1967. They also included the new development of a woman’s voice in literature, and a new voice in South African literature, superseding the protest tradition.
This book presents the collected papers and excerpts from the ensuing discussions of the conference.
