Edward W. Blyden, “The Jewish Question,” and the Diaspora: Theory and Practice
Dr. Blyden’s booklet, “The Jewish Question,” has been largely ignored, as it relates not only to the Jewish Question, proper, but also to the question of African American identifications with Africa and the quest to return, in one sense or another, to the “land of their fathers.” This article examines all of these three aspects of Blyden’s work and suggests in what ways the idea of a Diaspora could be understood in theory and in practice, conside…
Relocating Agency: Modernity and African Letters , by Olakunle George
Reviewed by: Relocating Agency: Modernity and African Letters Michael J. C. Echeruo Relocating Agency: Modernity and African Letters By Olakunle George Albany: SUNY Press, 2003. xx + 225 pp. ISBN 0-7914-55442-4 paper. The preface to Locating Agency lists the book's four main propositions: a) that "'modernity' is at the heart of contemporary Anglo-American literary theory, and has unwittingly drawn attention to Europe's colonial past and its conse…
Christopher Okigbo, Poetry Magazine, and the ?Lament of the Silent Sisters
Christopher Okigbo thought highly enough of his Lament of the Silent Sisters to revise it and submit it to Poetry magazine in May 1963. I have already been heard in Africa and in Europe, and would want, if possible, to have an audience in America, he wrote to the editor. The poem was not published, not least because of the magazine's policy of not publishing material previously published . . . anywhere, in any form. This article examines the revi…

Amos Tutuola Revisited
Chinua Achebe's Anthills of the Savannah, Post-History and Biblical Example
Edward W. Blyden, W. E. B. Du Bois, and the ‘Color Complex’
This article is an attempt to present (and thereby to come to terms with) an important aspect of the meaning of race as it relates to the experience of black people, especially in America. It commences with Edward W. Blyden because his ‘color complex’ is of a kind that brings us back, not without much embarrassment, to the realisation that while colour may be a state of the mind, it is also and even primarily a matter of the body. Blyden is parti…
Victorian Lagos: Aspects of Nineteenth Century Lagos Life
Mimesis and Dianoia in Igbo Folk Festivals
Nnamdi Azikiwe and Nineteenth - Century Nigerian Thought
This article is concerned chiefly with the connection between Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe's thought and that part of Nigeria's intellectual history which was the product of its nineteenth-century heritage. This relationship is important because, until comparatively recently, the intellectual life of what is now Nigeria was really an extension of that of the Negro. What we generally speak of as the beginnings of modern Nigerian social and political thought …
The intellectual context of nineteenth-century Lagos life
If any community needed to understand its own character, its place in the world of men and ideas, that community was the Lagos of the nineteenth century. It was a community dominated by men who had grown up in foreign lands — in Sierra Leone, in Cuba or in Brazil; men who had now returned to their homeland with a sincere sense of attachment to its people and to its values. According to Rev. Mr Townsend of the Church Missionary Society, these earl…
