Nigeria's Third-Generation Literature
This book considers the evolution and characteristics of Nigeria's third-generation literature, which emerged between the late 1980s and the early 1990s and is marked by expressive modes and concerns distinctly different from those of the preceding era. The creative writing of this period reflects new sensibilities and anxieties about Nigeria's changing fortunes in the post-colonial era. The literature of the third generation is startling in its …
The Other/Missing Side to the Botched Permissions Request Story Characterized in Ayi Kwei Armah’s The Eloquence of the Scribes
Ayi Kwei Armah levels some very serious and unfounded allegations against me in his The Eloquence of the Scribes pertaining to my request for permission to quote from his novels in my critical study of his writing while it was in production at Heinemann's USA station. As my side of the story of that ordeal will reveal, the reasons he gives for denying my petition for permission clearance are puzzling, but one thing is certain: he wants, and quite…

Ayi Kwei Armah's Professional Correspondence Unveiling the Ordeals of a Gifted African Author
Drawing on Arma's frustrated, frustrating, frequently acrimonious, and explosively detailed correspondence with editorial and administrative officials at Heinemann Educational Books of London, his British publishers, the present article charts this distinguished writer's ordeal, between 1977 and 1992 , in dealing with metropolitan power. This ordeal centre on his confrontation with what he perceives to be issues of ownership, contract violation, …

Hero Worshiping in African Literature
Since scholars are more accustomed to doing obsequies and encomiums for departed colleagues than to composing praise songs for their compeers (or superiors), I was particularly intrigued by the two full-blown essays devoted to honoring Bernth Lindfors in your recent pages (34.4 [2001]: 143-54). Of the two, however, Kenneth Harrow's gives a statement whose breadth and reach are more considerably balanced and objective. He begins by lauding Lindfor…
An early image of apartheid and postapartheid society
Although conspicuously missing in discussions of South African antiapartheid literature these days, Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm was one of the earliest novels to campaign against racial injustice in what was later to become the Republic of South Africa. Capturing a vivid sense of the emotional and psychological toll that apartheid exerted on its earliest victims, Schreiner expressed the grieviances that racial oppression engend…

Context, form and poetic expression in Igede funeral dirges
This article discusses the context, form and structure of the Igede dirge. Although a minority tribe in Nigeria's Benue State who are little known in anthropological and literary studies, the Igede have a tradition of oral expression that is as vibrant as that of any of Africa's larger language groups. The article thus aims to enlarge our understanding of the corpus of Africa's traditional literature through one of its neglected aspects-the dirge…

The Rhetoric of Revolution in Armah's The Healers
The Healers, Ayi Kwei Armah's most recent novel (1978), has received less critical attention than it deserves given the importance of its theme—the sociopolitical liberation of Africa—and the compelling textual strategies it deploys towards that end. What scanty criticism it has attracted has concentrated only on the novelist's social vision, with the debates centering on the degree of faithfulness to the historical materials on which he bases hi…
