Derwent May considers the state of the Commonwealth, mostly through its production of literature: "The emergence of an African literature in English is undoubtedly the most extraordinary and significant development of the past five years...He has, however, been followed by other more discplined and less extravagent writers, of whom Mr. Chinua Achebe is unquestionably the chief; and other countries besides Mr. Tutuola's native Nigeria have made their contributions, the latest being Kenya, in the person of Mr. James Ngugi. Everyone is now conscious of the African writer; in poetry but especially in prose... Wonderful Africa has replaced the West Indies as the centre of interest."
