Indigeneity, Globalization, and African Literature

Zusatztext

<div>Literature remains one of the few disciplines that reflect the experiences, sensibility, worldview, and living realities of its people. Contemporary African literature captures the African experience in history and politics in a multiplicity of ways. Politics itself has come to intersect and impact on most, if not all, aspects of the African reality. This relationship of literature with African peoples lives and condition forms the setting of this study. Tanure Ojaides Indigeneity, Globalization, and African Literature: Personally Speaking belongs with a well-established tradition of personal reflections on literature by African creative writer-critics. Ojaides contribution brings to the table the perspective of what is now recognized as a second generation writer, a poet, and a concerned citizen of Nigerias Niger Delta area.</div>
