Ken Saro-Wiwa
"The authors examine Saro-Wiwa's literary output both in terms of literary criticism and within a political framework. They give equal attention to his more public roles, including public reaction within Nigeria to his work."--BOOK JACKET.
Humour Theory and Stylistic Enquiry
This edited book brings together scholarly chapters on linguistic aspects of humour in literary and non-literary domains and contexts in different parts of the world. Previous scholarly engagements and theoretical postulations on humour and the comic provide veritable resources for reexamining the relationship between linguistic elements and comic sensations on the one hand, and the validity of interpretive humour stylistics on the other hand. Renowned Stylistics scholars, such as Michael Toolan, who writes the volume’s foreword against the backdrop of nearly four decades of scholarly engagement with stylistics, and Katie Wales, who in this volume engages with Charles Dickens, one of the m...
Culture & the Contemporary African
Culture and the Contemporary African Edited by Taiwo Oloruntoba-Oju and Kirsten Holst Petersen The contributions in this volume span the globally contested domains of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and aesthetics, with specific reference to Africa. They also cover the key cultural areas of language, literature, music, dance, drama, film and theatre, from different theoretical perspectives. Conceived as a tribute to Mai Palmberg, for her demonstrable commitment to African Studies during her many years of service at the Nordic African Institute, Culture and the Contemporary African provides yet another site for a vibrant discussion of African culture: its definition, its manifestations, its international dimensions, and its future.

Translation of Cultures

Translation refers to the rendering of texts from one language into another and the shift between languages under precolonial (retelling/transcreation), colonial (domestication), and postcolonial (multilingual trafficking) conditions.
Dismissal in Nigeria Labour Law
It is important to note that this is the second edition of this book and like I rightly pointed out in the first edition, the choice of this title and the subject matter was not a thing of accident. It was predicated upon my observations of the unwholesome Labour Relations in the Nigerian Industrial set-ups. As at the time of making up my mind about this book, there was an unequal balanced relationship between the employers of labour in all segments of our Labour Relations on the one hand and those employed to do any kind of work on the other. The other reason is my realization that there is every need for legal practice to go into minute specialization. We could specialize in every aspect of the law for purposes of effective practice, specialization and representation.
