Black African Literature in English, 1992-1996 (review)

Abstract

It is a pleasure to review the most recent bibliographical contribution by Bernth Lindfors. The previous edition (1987-91) won the 1966 Conover-Porter prize, which is awarded every two years for excellence in Africana bibliography or reference work. Lindfors shared that prize with Nancy J. Schmidt, who won for Sub-Saharan African Films and Filmmakers (1987-1992). I am happy to report that this edition lives up to its expectations.
