Deeply rooted in the indigenous performance traditions of his Igbo ethnic group, Irobi's drama, in the tradition of Wole Soyinka, is a hybrid production involving an iconoclastic reconceptualisation of the heritage he appropriates, its fascinating conflation with other performance traditions, and their projection onto the arena of contemporary Nigerian politics. This study by Isidore Diala is the first book-length examination of Irobi's work. It portrays a highly creative individual who was literally driven by the creative urge. The five chapters of this study illuminate different aspects of Irobi's oeuvre and include a vivid portrayal of Irobi the actor in his dream role of Elesin Oba, the eponymous King's Horseman in Wole Soyinka's drama. Diala highlight's Irobi's fascination for African festivals, which feature prominently in the earlier plays.He also demonstrates that although he is rooted in his Igbo culture, Irobi draws on different ethnic groups, pointing to conceptions of pan-Africanism that include the African diaspora.Colonies in literatureImperialism in literatureElectronic books.Colonies in literature.Imperialism in literature.809.93358Diala Isidore1030040MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463405303321Esiaba Irobi's drama and the postcolony2446758UNINA02156nam 22005775 450 99646658620331620220204012414.03-540-38321-210.1007/BFb0059706(CKB)1000000000438490(SSID)ssj0000322798(PQKBManifestationID)12099112(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000322798(PQKBWorkID)10288022(PQKB)11090889(DE-He213)978-3-540-38321-5(MiAaPQ)EBC6863744(Au-PeEL)EBL6863744(PPN)15520601X(EXLCZ)99100000000043849020100730d1973 u| 0freurnn#008mamaatxtccrEcole d'Ete de Probabilites: Processus Stochastiques[electronic resource] /by J.
