A Creative Writing Handbook for African Writers and Students
ISBN: 9789780231828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Creative writing is a relatively new phenomenon in African universities, as the influence of the American higher education system gains ground on the continent. Whilst there are many creative writing course books that focus on American/European audiences, there are almost no books with an African literary emphasis in mind, placing African literature and writing into a wider literary context and tradition, and targeting African writers, students and teachers of creative writing. Intending to fill this gap, this book is meant for teachers and students of creative writing, poetry and African...

The Tale of the Harmattan
ISBN: 9789789183111 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this collection, Nigerian poet Tanure Ojaide adopts the persona of a homeboy griot returning from travels to be confronted by the devastation wrought by oil greed, politics, and technology upon his beloved Niger Delta; its environment, civilisation and people.

Angry, elegiac and lyrical, this collection allows the reader insight far beyond the reach of journalism or prose.

Delta Blues and Home Songs
ISBN: 9789782081773 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work takes in two collections of poetry. The poems of Delta Blues protests against the environmental degradation of the Niger Delta, and the devastation unleashed upon local populations, victims, and caught up in the race for oil. The younger poet dedicates his work to Ken Saro Wiwa, and other civil-rights activists. He writes about the irony of their mortality, which was, their last resort and only threat; their death was the final protest. The poet contrasts the natural heritage of the river, a vital food and water source, with barrels of oil, which bring little benefit to the people...

Poetry of Wole Soyinka
ISBN: 9789780230067 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Nobel Laureate's reputation as a dramatist tends to cloud his poetic achievement, and in modern African literature, poetry lives in the shadow of fiction. The criticism of Soyinka's poetry has so far centred on his themes of individuality and death, his imagery, and on the controversy over his authenticity, obscurity and difficulty. Here, in a new approach, an academic himself and one of the leading younger generation of African poets, discusses critically the voice and viewpoint of the poet with the object of establishing Soyinka's persona. The book covers the personality and world view...

ISBN: 9781137542205 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Literature remains one of the few disciplines that reflect the experiences, sensibility, worldview, and living realities of its people. 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...

A Trilogy comprises three phases in a poetic journey, ranging from the poet (here called a minstrel) as a public figure, a traveller and observer of humanity, to one grounded in the landscape and fate of his native land. In the various sections of "The Beauty I have Seen," "Doors of the Forest" and "Flow and other Poems," Tanure Ojaide expresses multifarious experiences, private and public, that capture the poet's sensitive life in sensuous images. In these poems that flow like a narrative, form and content fuse into a mature poetic voice at once passionate and...
