Description

The Lion on the Freeway is a thematic introduction to post-1950 South African English literature. After examining the nation's political history and four earlier landmark works, the study examines the oppressed peoples' "moods," ranging from loving to attacking; the oppressors' "attitudes," ranging from ignorance to action; and the contradictory forecasts the literature offers for South Africa.
