Rezensionen / Stimmen

A noted Cameroonian poet, novelist, and memoirist, Doh explains in his preface that he began this book in the early 1990s, when the need for a solid body of criticism on Cameroon literature in English was even greater than it is now. . . .Doh provides commentary on six novels, six plays, and six collections of poetry. * CHOICE * Emmanuel Fru Doh's Anglophone-Cameroon Literature: An Introduction must be hailed as a trailblazer to a new literary landscape in global literature worthy of investigation. This title constitutes a major critical highway and an incontrovertible intersection through which literary scholars must navigate to get into the heart of Anglophone-Cameroon Literature. -- Bill Ndi, Tuskegee University Emmanuel Fru Doh's book presents a studied analysis and interpretation of Anglophone Cameroon Literature. This book is without doubt a landmark intervention in Anglophone Cameroon literature and it not only answers many of the questions that surround it, but equally opens up the possibility for further discussions. It is therefore a foundational work upon which future debates will be built. -- Blossom Fondo, University of Maroua
