- Summary
- "In this volume of interviews with H. Nigel Thomas, fifteen leading African Canadian writers discuss the complexities of the writing experience and reveal their thoughts on their creative process. Identifying how their social and geographical origins have influenced their work, these poets and fiction writers also respond to the exigencies of craft, the manipulations of publishers, the criticism of readers, and the absence of a clearly identifiable market for their works. This book, therefore, provides valuable insights both on individual creativity and on the politics of cultural production in a multicultural society."--BOOK JACKET.
