African literature has commonly been seen as representationally naive vis-a-vis modernism, and canonical modernism as reactionary vis-a-vis postcolonial literature. What brings these two bodies of work together, argues the author, is their disposition toward Utopia or the horizon of a radical reconfiguration of social relations.
