Here is a juxtaposition of the personal and inter-communal dynamics focussed on the West African experience during the pivotal decade of the 1960s, when National Independence demanded a reflexion on the definition of the new states, and how external factors have borne heavily upon their past, present and future. The author blends his experience of study and travel in the region, acknowledging his debt to the pioneering spirit of the School of Oriental and African Studies who facilitated the enterprise, with an analysis of the challenges the new entities have faced, and how they have fared, nationally and globally, in the light of Slavery, Colonialism and Black Lives Matter.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John Berryman

John Berryman nasceu em 1914, no Oklahoma, EUA. Ao longo da vida, passou por várias instituições da Ivy League e pela Universidade de Cambridge, primeiro enquanto estudante e depois durante a sua carreira como professor e investigador. Autor maior da literatura norte-americana da segunda metade do século XX e figura-chave da corrente confessional da poesia, Berryman foi galardoado com o Prémio Pulitzer por 77 Oníricas (1965) e com o National Book Award por His Toy, His Dream, His Rest (1969). A sua obra poética – que, tal como a vida do poeta, foi profundamente marcada pelo suicídio do pai, quando Berryman tinha 11 anos – compreende livros como The Dispossessed (1948), Homage to Mistress Bradstreet (1956) e Henry’s Fate & Other Poems, 1967-1972 (1977), entre outros. John Berryman suicidou-se em 1972.
