Contemporary African literature captures the African experience in history and politics in a multiplicity of ways. Politics itself has come to intersect and impact on most, if not all, aspects of the African reality. This relationship of literature with African people's lives and condition forms the setting of this study. Tanure Ojaide's Indigeneity, Globalization, and African Literature: Personally Speaking belongs with a well-established tradition of personal reflections on literature by African creative writer-critics. Ojaide's contribution brings to the table the perspective of what is now recognized as a "second generation" writer, a poet, and a concerned citizen of Nigeria's Niger Delta area. . 410 0$aAfrican Histories and Modernities,$x2634-5781 606 $aAfrican literature 606 $aAfrican languages 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aPoetry 606 $aSocial history 606 $aAfrican Literature 606 $aAfrican Languages 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aModern History 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aSocial History 615 0$aAfrican literature. 615 0$aAfrican languages. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aAfrican Literature. 615 24$aAfrican Languages. 615 24$aAfrican History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a809/.8896 700 $aOjaide$b Tanure$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0765713 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959247903321 996 $aIndigeneity, Globalization, and African Literature$94328609 997 $aUNINA
