Description
Penpoints, Gunpoints, and Dreams explores the relationship between art and political power in society, taking as its starting point the experience of writers in contemporary Africa, where they are often seen as the enemy of the postcolonial state. This study raises the wider issues of the relationship between the state of art and the art of the state, particularly in their struggle for the control of performance space in territorial, temporal, social, and even psychic contexts.

Art, he argues, needs to be active, engaged, insistent on being what it has always been, the embodiment of dreams for a truly human world.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
