In the Trickster Tradition: The Novels of Andrew Salkey, Francis Ebejar and Ishmael Reed

‘Peter Nazareth’s focus on the vital links between African, African-Diasporan and non-European literatures stands in stark contrast to the specialisation that too often dominates current literary studies. His insights are fresh and always open to unsuspected relationships; one cannot fail to read his essays without being challenged to open the mind to new possibilities and re-think the set ways we have come to accept our cultural and literary canons.’ – Tom Dent
