Publisher's Synopsis
The theme of the 2001 African Literature Association conference, translation encompasses more than the movement of expression from one language to another - it not only includes the translation of one culture to another, but also the translating of the particularities of historical and personal experience into the broader context of humanity. Includes the four addresses given at the conference on this topic by Nadine Gordimer, Assia Djebar, Emmanuel Dongala and Nuruddin Farah.
