 | | MPHAHLELE, Es'kia (Ezekiel) (1919-), South African novelist, short-story writer, and critic, was born in Pretoria. |
 | | Mphahlele's wanderings over three continents figure his life-long search for a personal, intellectual, and cultural identity and its concomitant, the definition of a fl aesthetic. |
 | | Mphahlele achieved notoriety with his criticism of negritude, which he argued failed to address the political needs of the African people and dismissed their revolutionary potential, thereby expressing a viewpoint shared by other African writers in English, including Wole Soyinka and Christopher Okigbo. |
