In both plays, Ipah, Paddy, Dinna, and Boma, for example, exemplify how waywardness and avarice can subvert moral integrity. At the same time, the plays problematise the intersection of tradition and modernity, articulating the tension inherent in both visions of life. Although the moral landscape of the drama appears sordid, characters like Abu Ipah and Joseph enkindle hope. Initially performed seventeen years ago, the plays are still as poignant as they are didactic and hilarious as they are refreshing. The characters are credible and compelling partly because of the felicitous language that is anchored in the local imagery.Rising sun and bomaAfrican poetry (English)African poetryCameroonian poetry (English)NaturePoetryAfrican poetry (English)African poetry.Cameroonian poetry (English)Nature821.0080896Usongo Kenneth1483674MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787446203321The rising sun & boma3799941UNINA
