The subordinate rises

The one who motivated me to start this study and encouraged me to continue it is a deep conviction in the necessity of cultural communication between the countries of the Third World in general, and the African continent in particular, not only because of the problems they face in common and similar aspirations, but also because of the values of human culture present in their arts and literature. The homeland is always the focus and the foundation, this is the first truth faced by the student of the novel in West Africa. Temperaments, visions, artistic methods differ, and abilities vary, but the homeland, its history, its wounds, and its contemporary reality are always the main concern. Six years were spent by Radwa Ashour collecting the material for this book, to answer the question "Is it true what some say that modern African literature derives its strength from being a response to specific political situations, and that it consequently loses this value when those situations disappear?"
