Bayonetsby Kofi Anyidoho BeyondSurvival : African Literature & the Search for New Life (Ala Annuals Series, No 5) Even in thebest of times, the artist is constantly reaching beyond the present; theseverity of Africa's present situation of crisis must urge our artists evenfarther into their version of a new life. In "Beyond Survival," someof the best interpreters of African literature focus on "the role of thecreative artist as a critical assessor, confidence builder and inspirer toexcellence." The central theme of thisimportant collection of essays is inspired by the belief that given the severityof the current crisis of life for African peoples, and given the intuitive andcultivated ability of the creative artist to monitor and accurately capture thecomplexities of any human institution, close attention to the world of Africanand African-heritage writers should provide not only important insights intovarious dimensions of the problem, but also and perhaps even more crucial,subtle but reliable pointers to probable solutions. More than any other group ofpeople, it is perhaps to the artists we must turn for a creative but timelyrealizable version of the future. The contributors fall underfive broad headings, beginning with an introductory section featuring threeimportant addresses delivered during the 1994 ALA annual conference in Accra,Ghana, at which these papers were first presented, as well as a speciallycommissioned essay in memory of the late Flora Nwapa, one of Africa's best knownpioneer women writers. The four other sections present a total of twenty essaysfocusing on "shifting paradigms," "New Life: Language andartistic tradition," "New Life: Language, Literature & NationalPolicy," and "Resistance Strategies."
