Origin East Africa

Description

Names such as John Nagenda, James Ngugi and David Rubadiri make some of their earliest appearances in this anthology of stories, plays and poems by people who have studied at Makerere. This is a volume worth reading in its own right, but will also attract those who find African writing especially interesting and significant.
