Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject African Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This paper attempts reading Ola Rotimi’s "The Gods are not to blame" against the backdrop of the Nigerian dilemma in the contemporary times.

The essays included are overwhelmingly concerned with Nigeria (product...

Reconstructing the Transitory Phases of Africa in African Poetry
Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, language: English, abstract: Poetry as an art form is not only an overflow of feelings, emotions and thoughts but also a means through which history is recreated. The history of a people is transmitted either through the oral or the written forms. The histories of mythical and legendary figures are also translated through the aforementioned medium. Poetry, as mentioned earlier can also express the history of a people, but often, of great men and movers of nations in the form of epic. However, poetry that reconstructs a continent's history and its metamorphosis over space and time is what...
