This is a unique book which is multidisciplinary in the sense that it discusses a variety of genres which cut across film studies, literature and cartoons. The combination of emerging and renowned scholars' writing in one anthology makes it an interesting book to add to your collection. I commend the editors for the meticulous selection of the essays to include to this anthology.
(Professor Evangeline Bonisiwe Zungu, African Languages, University of the Witwatersrand)
If you are looking for a book that delves into South African literary issues in texts of various types, like films, novels and television programs, this is the book you are looking for. Each topic covered has been thoroughly and logically researched and presents comprehensive and balanced arguments. It will really broaden your understanding of literary devices that make South African literature and African literature so rich and meaningful. Though the book focuses on the analysis of different texts under discussion, one other aspect that makes each chapter an interesting read is the fact that before each detailed analysis, the authors provide you with a clear, interesting synopsis of the book or film being presented so that by the end of the read you have been taken through the story or film in its deepest and broadest form. Broadened Horizons is an academic text that caters for various literary interests - poetry, drama, films and creative media.
(Dr Choice D Mpanza, Senior Lecturer, English Studies, University of South Africa)
This book discusses three types of creative output in South Africa that are often considered as independent of each other. One section explores traditional literary genres; another examines different South African films, focusing on different themes; and the final section discusses creative media, specifically cartoons. This collection of critical essays broadens the readers' knowledge and understanding of African-language literature by including literary analysis, film analysis and cartoon interpretation in one volume.
