Hegemonies, subalternities and haram: Islamic extremism, masculinities and religious masks in post-9/11 African writing
In the multicultural and transnational reality of the contemporary global community, terrorism has arguably assumed a discursive synonymity with Islamic fundamentalism. This significantly post-9/11 development has constructed demonising forms of seeing the male Muslim as a potential terrorist with the ominous capacity to purge perceived institutional haram (heresies considered abominable to Islam) in his Salafi-Jihadist persuasion. This developme…
Urbanity, Transgressive Digitality, and Covid-19: Hierarchical Cybercrime(s) and the Subaltern Nigerian Urban Youth in a Global Pandemic
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, among other things, has shown how the contemporary global community is inescapably wired to a virtual existentiality for continued human relations and correspondence. This human-digital relationship however spiked an unprecedented wave of global cybercrime during the pandemic's 2020 upsurge. Reflecting on its (trans)national/situational peculiarities, I argue that Nigerian COVID-19 cybercrime uniquely …
The “African male literary tradition” and revisionist polemics in Isidore Okpewho’s writing
African literature has been very polemically, but usefully engaged, by feminists and other concerned gender stakeholders in the past three decades on the note that its foundational discursive platform of representation is patriarchal, largely representing the female body as ‘absent’ and ‘other’ in the imaginative landscape of canonical African(ist) expression. While these critical efforts have significantly succeeded in interrogating phallocentri…

Differing from her sister's voice: (Re)configured womanhood in Assia Djebar'sA Sister to Scheherazade
The frame story of the pan-oriental literary legacy, the Arabian Nights, involving the gripping and near-tragic nuptial exchanges between Sultan Shahriyar and Queen Scheherazade (Shahrazade), has provoked engaging literary and critical responses around the world – many of them feeding into enduring orientalist, postcolonial and feminist polemics. This article argues that Assia Djebar’s 1987 novel A Sister to Scheherazade proposes an idealized Ara…
Transethnic Allegory: The Yoruba World, Hip Hop and the Rhetoric of Generational Difference
The present postmodern cultural and linguistic (re)presentation of the Yoruba world finds an invaluable transethnic expression within the space of Nigerian hip hop, a fact that has escaped sustained critical commentary. While this urban youth development suggests a transgression of conventional cultural boundaries, it ironically inscribes a statement of aesthetic and philosophical dynamism locating the Yoruba world as open to multicultural adapta…
