''This is a great resource chronicling Anglophone Burkinabe literature, opening up the Francophone country Burkina Faso to the world! Kabore finally brings us a much awaited and sorely needed detailed compendium of a range of works written in English (or translated into English) starting in 1989 up to present, including poetry, plays, novels, tales, and shamen''s works. Key themes addressed, such as witchcraft, women''s emancipation with bicycle transportation, feminism, creation myths, and ecocriticism will allow scholars of Anglophone African literature to include Burkinabe literature into their comparative analysis. This book features over 25 Anglophone Burkinabe authors, the ancestors of future Anglophone Burkinabe authors. This compendium shall inspire further production of fine Burkinabe literature in English! Kabore''s call for required reading of Anglophone Burkinabe literature in Burkinabe schools; his call for these Burkinabe writers to make their English works available in Burkinabe bookstores and libraries; and his call for Anglophone Burkinabe literary prizes are right on! This is the new path and Kabore is pointing the way!'' --Suzanne Ondrus, Ph.D. , African literature scholar and author of Passion Seeds. ''Once again, Dr Andre Kabore has offered to the readership a thorough, compelling, comprehensive, and riveting work. This couldn''t be more timely! Introduction to Burkinabe Anglophone Literature is a seminal work that forcefully probes into Burkinabe literature and does a superb archaeological work. A page-turner, every literary enthusiast should have this jewel in their library!'' -- Michel Tinguiri, Ph.D., Burkinabe writer and anthropologist at Montgomery College, USA, author of The Tribulations of the Sahelian Traveler.
