Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In Herding South, Peter Omoko spotlights the dispossessed and dystopian fate of minority groups in Nigeria, and the fractured social equilibrium that pervades the land, with its polarising and destructive effect on the people's psyche. Writing essentially as a troubled witness, the poet navigates through the horrifying pains and trauma of a people, instigated by the ineptitude and narrow-mindedness of their leadership. Omoko's intention in this collection - to speak home-truth to power in order to reclaim the people's humanity - is well delineated in the sardonic and emotive metaphors used in the poetry and the rhetorical force of its lines.".…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 522 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Professor Darah turned seventy on Wednesday November 22, 2017 and to celebrate his very productive career, his colleagues and many of those he has mentored thought it appropriate to mark his official exit from the university in a dignified way by commissioning for publication, in the now acceptable festschrift tradition, the highly compelling and outstanding collection of essays titled: Scholarship and Commitment: Essays in Honour of G.G. Darah. The book is a ground-breaking collection of essays; some are couched as tributes to the ebullient celebrant, there are others on more serious discourses in the areas of literary theories and criticism, language and linguistics, popular literature and politics, the African woman, identity and contemporary realities, oral literature, the news media and cultural studies. The essays, on their own, attest to the vivacity and liveliness as well as the encouraging state of health of publishing in the Nigerian academia, which in this collection alone, parades forty-two essays in different fields or discourses.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Kidnapped captures the current state of criminal activities and acts of terrorism in today's Nigeria. It tells the story of criminals in high places who by their greed have brought mental poverty, political corruption and lack of national cohesion. The title of the play is a double attendre. While it speaks to the story of the play on a literal level of meaning, on a higher and metaphorical level of elucidation, it speaks to the politics of criminality that has kidnapped the present and future of Nigerians. The author however brings justice upon them through the power of his words, and the reader is left to hope that the same becomes reality.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Their farms were destroyed with impunity by herdsmen and their cows and on daily basis; they were raped, beaten or killed in their farms. They could no longer go to their farms alone. They must go in groups. 'How can we feed our families if we cannot go to our farms Where did they expect us to get money from to send our children to schools if we do not have access to our farms Can't you see the prices of goods in the market right now 'The play, Tears in the Cornfield, is therefore, a story of our lives with no one and nowhere spared. From the traditional rulers, who sometimes are in cohort with the destroyers, to the market women, like Okpomote, who salivate from the spoils of an unholy marriage. You do not need any naysayers to paint a more horrendous colour for you before you see the fangs of the Hobbesian or the Biblical and mythological Leviathan. Tears in the Cornfield is a masterpiece, a work of outstanding creativity, skill or workmanship. It is often said that 'Masterpieces are not completed, they are abandoned.' In this, Peter Omoko has disproved the dictum! I have no hesitation whatsoever in commending this new offering to the reading public and all lovers of good drama. - Adediran Kayode Ademiju-Bepo, Professor ofTheatre and Film Studies,Jos, Nigeria.…
