520    How do we resolve the insider/outsider interpreting 
       conundrum? Why do readers from different parts of the 
       world read, interpret, or understand foreign literatures 
       the way they do? What drives peculiar critical reactions, 
       canon formations and such issues which determine the 
       survival of cultural productions or their continued 
       adoption as useful bolsters for a people's self-definition
       or indeed self-preservation and self-determination? 
       African Literature: Gender Discourse, Religious Values, 
       and the African Worldview offers a series of fresh 
       insights into most of the old ""problematics"" which use.
