21	A dialogue of two selves : themes of alienation and African humanism in the works of Es'kia Mphahlele Obee, Ruth, 1941- 11 1900 (has links) Es'kia Mphahlele's concept of African humanism was a seminal influence on Black Consciouness thought and provided the philosophical basis for a landmark body of South African criticism and aesthetics wilh roots in Africa. African humanism as a black ethos, combined with rich metaphoric speech, symbols, values and myths resurrected from the deep African past, afforded the author a powerful cultural weapon with which to criticize centuries of colonialism, racism, and state apartheid, related western industrial forces of economic exploitation and alienation. Moreover, the counterweights of African humanism and alienation in the dialogue of two selves -- one that is Western-educated and colonized and the other African -- contribute key elements of realism, vitality, humour, insight, cultural identity, and characterization to Mphahlele's most effective protest writing which, in turn, has helped to shape a black nationalist vision which has surprising relevance to South Africa in the 1990s. / English Studies / M.A. (English) Es'kia Mphahlele South Africa South African literature African humanism Alienation African nationalist vision Black Consciousness Colonial Negritude Apartheid Criticism Autobiography African aesthetics 823.914 Alienation (Philosophy) in literature Apartheid in literature Humanism -- South Africa -- 20th century
