Loaded Vehicles: Studies in African Literary Media

by Bernth Lindfors

The essays gathered here explore the contribution of little magazines to the development of distinctive literary culture, by calling attention to unusual examples of small-scale publishing, and by scrutinizing stylistic innovations in pamphlets and newspapers aimed at a mass audience. Lindfors also exhumes from Nigerian media of very limited circulation a number of important literary documents that ought to be more widely known.
