Expatriate Characters in the Post-Independence African Novel.

Losambe, Lokangaka

Phylon, v48 n3 p204-15 Fall 1987

Expatriate characters in six post-independence African novels are disillusioned by the nasty weather, negative racial attitudes, declining morality, and rigid social structure they find in the Western world. Their loneliness in the West ironically becomes a source of African nationalism. (BJV)
