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. 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 676 $a809.93358 700 $aDiala$b Isidore$01030040 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463405303321 996 $aEsiaba Irobi's drama and the postcolony$92446758 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01423nam a2200337 i 4500 001 991000994689707536 005 20020507104902.0 008 970307s1967 us ||| | eng 035 $ab10158698-39ule_inst 035 $aLE00640337$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Fisica$bita 084 $a53.3.1 084 $a53.3.3 084 $a53.3.4 084 $a539.7'21'08 084 $aQC721 100 1 $aBurhop, E.H.S.$045455 245 10$aHigh energy physics /$cedited by E.H.S.
