Homage to Chinua Achebe
The publication in 1958 of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart was experienced as a significant literary and cultural event in Africa, probably no more so than in his own country, Nigeria, and at his alma mater, University College, Ibadan. I was an undergraduate there at the time, and have retained a vivid memory of its enthusiastic reception by the handful of students and Nigerian faculty who represented what we had then of an "interpretive commun…

Négritude-Literature and Ideology
Pan-Africanismhas been described as 'essentially a movement of emotions and ideas',1and this description is equally applicable to négritude, which is its cultural parallel. Indeed, no better phrase could be found to sum up its double nature, first as a psychological response to the social and cultural conditions of the 'colonial situation',2and secondly as a fervent quest for a new and original orientation.In the former respect, the imaginative w…
A Defence of Negritude
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE was the first to give Negritude an extended critical exposition. It was his famous essay, Black Orpheus, which he wrote as a preface to Senghor's anthology of negro poets of French expression that defined and consecrated the term, which has since entered into the popular French dictionary, Larousse, and may one day be accepted by the French Academy for inclusion in its official dictionary
