Literary and Spiritual Practices

African writers, including novelists and those who have specialised in the social sciences, are not sufficiently known in Europe, Asia and the United States. This book seeks to remedy this lack. It explores meaning and the human good as constitutive of human communities as advocated in the writings of African authors and other authors who have specialised in African history and the exploitation of Africans for the past several centuries. It also invokes Bernard Lonergan's books, Insight and Method in Theology, to supply the background interdisciplinary method in forming the authors' approach.
