Indigeneity, Globalization, and African Literature: Personally Speaking, Tanure Ojaide

Ambitious and bold, Tanure Ojaide’s Indigeneity, Globalization, and African Literature offers readers an analysis of predominantly Nigerian poetry and fiction over a period of more than five decades. In particular, Ojaide is interested in how the relationship between Africa and the West, as distinct geopolitical and cultural spaces, plays out in different literary texts. The book consists of several different genres of writing that include literary analysis, tributes to two deceased writers, autobiographical narratives, Ojaide’s own perspectives as a writer, and a treatise on the politics of publishing.
