For all of the information that comes to the United States from the African continent, so little is known about their writers. Who are they? What are their backgrounds? What are their reactions to the cultural revolution which surrounds them? For whom are they writing? Are they turning to the forms of the tribal oral traditions or are they rejecting them? How do the individual writers react to the philosophy of "Negritude?" What is the influence of current European literature and of the literature of the American Negro on their works? And what is the reciprocal influence of African novels, stories, plays and poems on the literature of these other cultures.


Series host Lewis Nkosi, Wole Soyinka, and the featured guest, Chinua Achebe. focus on the craft of Achebe himself, begins as Soyinka and Achebe discuss a carving of Ikenga, a symbol of manhood in Ibo society. Soyinka likens the spirit of Achebe's character Okongkwo from the novel Things Fall Apart to that represented by the carving. Achebe says he poured the essence of the aggressiveness and showy masculinity, traditionally so admired by the Ibo society into Okongkwo, and had his character's ultimate downfall represent the shortcoming of a culture which places a premium on brute intransigence. Is one critical assessment of Achebe's work - that in his books he deliberately attempts to avoid passing moral judgment - a true one?, ask Nkosi. Not at all, replies the novelist. Achebe says that while he presents a balanced picture of the Ibo society in Things Fall Apart, including its many admirable attributes (its music and art,"...the poetry of life, the simplicity... the communal way of sharing in happiness and in sorrow..."), and while he does not attempt to draw a moral lesson on every page, the total effect at the end of the book - the disintegration of his hero - illuminates a very strong moral position on the author's part.


After dismissing an evaluation of his work as being "unrelieved competence" rather than "genuine artistic inspiration" by pointing out that Things Fall Apart was written as a single draft with no polishing, Achebe goes on to discuss the influences which have shaped his artistic life. He speaks of the village, of the colorful tribal festivals, and of the way the old people talked. Coming from his own background, he points out, his fiction is the result of direct observation, not research.


He also refers to the negative influence of Joyce Cary's Mr. Johnson which angered him deeply when he was a student at the University College Ibadan. Achebe also briefly discusses: his recent trip to the United States, where he met with the Harlem Group of writers - among them Langston Hughes and John Killens - and with a number of white writers including playwright Arthur Miller; his strong opposition to "people preaching from a position of ignorance," a position which, he claims, is characteristic of most present day critics of African literature; and his new novel Arrow of God. In Arrow of God which concerns the relationship between an African god and a village priest, Achebe feels he is handling a group of more complex themes than he has in the past, and that he is progressing in the direction of a more highly developed treatment of character. The author sees the Nigerian novelist's position in his society as one of growing influence. As a literary form the novel is comparatively new in the country - only ten years old - but if book sales are any indication, Achebe feels the novel has caught on.

Research fellow at Nigeria Institute of International Affairs, Dr Tola Ilesanmi, speaks about the resurgence of military coups in West Africa.

Call them whatever you like…boss ladies, feminists, women rights activists, dictators…These African queens and warriors led men to war, ruled kingdoms, and called the shots. Some even resisted European domination and colonialism.

The literary scene in Kenya is growing and at a relatively fast rate, gone are the days when Ngugi wa Thiongo was the only benchmark for young writers. Young Kenyans are writing, and they have a lot to say.

As Kenyans put pen to paper or fill their various electronic devices with notes of expression, one thing stands out, with a population of 40 million, and a high literacy rate, Kenya still lags behind the big wigs like Nigeria and South Africa.

So, what is Kenya doing to narrow this gap?
David Mailu a renowned Kenya writer and Ng`ang`a Mbugwa the Ngugi wa Thiong`o literary winner, 2012, talks to us about writing for the African audience and drives us through the different generation of writers that the world have come to know and love.

Kenya continues to play host to a number of multinationals seeking a piece of the growing African consumer market. The latest of such entrants is technology firm Lenovo which says it is carrying out feasibility studies in Kenya on its plans to set up a computer assembly plant. Lenovo president Gianfranco Lanci spoke to KTN on their plans.

Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was present at France’s 3rd Night of Ideas, with a quite memorable moment when the interviewer asked if there were any libraries in Nigeria, adding that French people didn’t know a lot about Nigeria. Adichie answered saying she felt the question reflected poorly on French people.

The Government Employee Pension Fund is currently on track to meeting its goal of exporting 5 percent of its assets into non-listed assets on the African continent.

This program takes place in the library at the University of Ghana near Accra; host Lewis Nkosi is joined by Wole Soyinka, this time to talk with William Abraham, associate professor of philosophy at the university and author of one of the most significant books on modern Africa: The Mind of Africa. This discussion is devoted almost entirely to the function of the writer in Africa. The tone of the conversation is markedly different from that of the other interviews - more tense, more formal, and at times, more heated. Professor Abraham devoted considerable time to characterizing the "ideal" African writer. If a writer is to be called "African" he believes, he will not be defined ultimately in terms of skin color but in terms of his expression of a living African heritage, a tradition which should determine the style, idiom, and the content of his work. To be writing as part of a living heritage, Abraham maintains, means to see clearly and to absorb the many facets of modern African society (including the old, but still very much alive, oral tradition, and the foreign influences, Moslem and Euro-Christian), and to be able to present, as a result of this perspective, a comprehensive literary "critique of society."
