Art, Society and Identity: Essays on African Literature

Art, Society and Identity is an important and timely intervention in the study of postcolonial African literature given, not only its profound reading of select fictional, poetic and dramatic texts, but most crucially its comprehensive rebuttal of the postmodernist and poststructuralist invasion of the postcolonial African aesthetic domain. The author combines an authoritative critical voice which he developed in the last two decades of the 20th century that produced the essays in parts one and two with new theoretical and critical insights into the literary and extra literary currents shaping 21st century Nigerian literature.
