Reviews

“Henighan approaches Angolan literature through the lens of history, offering readers a clearer understanding of both the works and their context. Beyond offering this fresh perspective, Henighan provides innovative, intelligent, and well-grounded analyses of many texts and authors and does so in fluid, illuminating prose. He takes a major step towards completing a resource we still lack: a comprehensive history of Angolan literature.” Francisco Topa, University of Porto
