African Children’s and Youth Literature

Boston: Gale (1995), 162 pp.
"An analysis of African children’s and young adults literature, primarily from West Africa, especially Nigeria. Seeks to shed light on the aspects and genres of the literature and African cultural assumptions – especially those about love and marriage– as well as aspects of social conduct, and traditional values. Focuses chiefly on the writing, rather than on publishing aspects of children’s books." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 1656)
