The local and the global in Francis Abiola Irele's critical thought
In this essay I argue that Irele’s critical discourse is a construct of double entendre, the introvert and the extrovert, crystallized in his concept of the African Imagination. I critically chronicle the development of this discourse from his engagement with early African diasporic writings, through the Négritude movement, to contemporary African literature while foregrounding his critical legacy
The Colonial Stranger and Postcolonial Agency
In Inventing Ireland: The Literature of the Modern Nation (1996), the Irish critic Declan Kiberd argues “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance”. While I agree with Kiberd that postcoloniality cannot be said to be synonymous with post-independence, in this essay I extend his formulation by adding anothe…

That way they have located its tragic effect in what they see as Elesin’s lack of a strong moral will to car…
Carnival as an Embedded Narrative in Mbulelo Mzamane's Short Stories
Things are becoming even more mind-bogglingly spectacular than in Ndebele's (1984:37) description of protest literature. Big masses are marching resolutely and solemnly down the streets. The education system is hurtling towards disaster. The new is agonizingly unable of being born in morbid spectacles of burning hous? es, vehicles and bodies, youths grimly attacking walls and hurling stones, police shooting, old couples being murdered as regularl…
Expatriate Characters in the Post-Independence African Novel
IN A PREVIOUS ARTICLE entitled Expatriate Characters in the Early African Novel,' I have maintained that in African fiction the theme of expatriation has revolved in five stages: at the village (the passage from African tradition to the Christian Church and School), from the village to the city, from the city to the western world, from the Western world back to the African city and from the African city back to the village. Following this develop…
