Lewis Nkosi reviews the book The Rift by Hilda Bernstein and comments with his own personal experience on exile in South Africa. Nkosi suggests that "In Africa, too, the moment of modernism is invariably associated with displacement, imprisonment, and exile"; he suggests that leading African writers have been imprisoned and banished in their countries, such as Wole Soyinka, Kofi Awoonor, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Nurrudin Farah, and Dambudzo Marechera. Nkosi himself was exiled from South Africa; he writes that "for many South Africans [exile was] the very condition of their existence."
