Synopsis
the masque of africa by naipaul is his latest book with a specific theme.he employs the technique of proceeding from the particular to the universal.with his deep and thorough visits to to africa he makes africa into a tautly knit unit bound by certain overtly visible traits.he feels that the continent still takes pride in its inherent african mind and ethos like its initiatin to good-old rituals,its ancient culture and its viable interest in music.but like ngugi,naipaul also becomes critical of certain neocolonial elements that pull the continent into a different direction.he is sorry for africa which,like a wounded animal ,is looking for a final vindication of its own painful journey.Dr. P.Suneetha,Head,Department of English,First Grade College,Gauribidanur,Bangalore University,India
