This issue ofAfrican Literature Today is devoted to studies of how African writers, as historical witnesses, have handled the recreation of war as a cataclysmic phenomenon in various locations on the continent. The contributors explore the subject from a variety of perspectives: panoramic, regional, national and through comparative studies. War has enriched contemporary African literature, but at what price to human lives, peace and the environment? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ERNESTEMENYONU is Professor of the Department of Africana Studies University of Michigan-Flint.
