The authors analyzed are representative writers of the african narrative in english of the second half of the twentieth century: breyten breytenbach, ngugi wa thiongo, wole soyinka, molefe pheto, moses dlamini, winnie mandela, ruth first, herman c. Bosman, hugh lewin and kenneth kaunda.  this dissertation is divided into seven characteristic chapters: 1. Prison conditions; 2. Deprivations; 3. Warders;  4. Time; 5.  prisoners; 6. Material and psychological problems of the writer in prison and 7. Prison poetry.  the political situation of the african countries makes the writers view their individual imprisonments as collective problems and they tend to regard prison as a microcosm of their societies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Datos acad\u00e9micos de la tesis doctoral \u00ab<strong>African prison literature<\/strong>\u00ab<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>T\u00edtulo de la
