The Anglophone African writers’ pragmatic Panafricanism

Abstract

This article focuses on some selected African Anglophone writings and examines carefully how the issue of pan-Africanism is addressed in those books. They are Ama Ata Aidoo’s The Dilemma of a Ghost, Ayi Kwei Armah’s Osiris Rising and KMT: In the House of Life, and Kofi Awoonor’s Comes the Voyager at Last. The article refers once in a while to African American writings in order to foreground how the African literary works mentioned treat the theme of pan-Africanism
