This book contrasts voluntary labor and political migration with the involuntary diaspora by focusing on the paradoxes of migration, exile, and survival of African immigrants in the New World.
Professor Darah turned seventy on Wednesday November 22, 2017 and to celebrate his very productive career, his colleagues and many of those he has mentored thought it appropriate to mark his official exit from the university in a dignified way by commissioning for publication, in the now acceptable festschrift tradition, the highly compelling and outstanding collection of essays titled: Scholarship and Commitment: Essays in Honour of G.G. Darah. The book is a ground-breaking collection of essays; some are couched as tributes to the ebullient celebrant, there are others on more serious discourses in the areas of literary theories and criticism, language and linguistics, popular literature and politics, the African woman, identity and contemporary realities, oral literature, the news media and cultural studies. The essays, on their own, attest to the vivacity and liveliness as well as the encouraging state of health of publishing in the Nigerian academia, which in this collection alone, parades forty-two essays in different fields or discourses.
Riddle-me-ree! Just what is this book? Is it an adult book for children or a children's book for adults? It certainly must not be read by politicians, especially Prime Ministers. Small Paul's extraterrestrial antics have accidentally revealed shocking parliamentary misbehaviour above and beyond the call of duty. This is a must-read for any citizen concerned with the future of parliamentary democracy. And also for anyone owning a wardrobe or a homburg hat. Be warned. Be aware. Be a reader.
