The Imperative of Experience in Poetry: An African Perspective

Ojaide, Tanure

Pages: 161 –168

[African poetry that expresses specific types of experience appears no longer common as it used to be. Some, if not many, contemporary African poets now think that only the style or form matters and not the content or experience expressed. This could be a response to two generations of African...

Indigenous Knowledge and Its Expression in the Folklore of Africa

Ojaide, Tanure

Pages: 169 –181

[Knowledge has often been racialized by Europeans who want to claim it as only theirs. From the time the West started to see Africans and their descendants as the “Other,” Africa has been depicted as a tabula rasa, which connotes that Africans have no civilization or imagination that carries any...

Policy Studies, Activist Literature, and Pitching for the Masses in Nigeria

Ojaide, Tanure

Pages: 183 –194

[Though political science, especially policy studies, and activist literature deal with politics, this is more so of policy studies than literature which may not have politics as its concern. Political science and literature are more closely related in their objectives than the often hostile...

Personally Speaking: The Beauty I Have Seen

Ojaide, Tanure

Revisiting an African Oral Poetic Performance: Udje Today

Ojaide, Tanure

Pages: 237 –253

[One should not give or get the impression that traditional African poetry is dead or no longer practiced with the coming of literacy and the emergence of modern written African literature. Of course, there are social, economic, modern, and other reasons that started to undermine udje from...

Performance, the New African Poetry, and My Poetry: A Commentary

Ojaide, Tanure

Pages: 255 –265

[Since poetry is a literary genre and literature is a cultural production, the performance or reading of poetry has its cultural dimension. I have personally observed from readings or performances of poets from different parts of the world a diversity of reading or performing modes. It must be...

Two Tributes: Chinua Achebe and Kofi Awoonor

Ojaide, Tanure

Pages: 267 –271

[Chinua Achebe’s place as one of Africa’s greatest writers is not contestable. He bestrode the African literature world like a colossus and he would be remembered not only by us but by generations to come in Africa and elsewhere. In his work he restored pride to the African whose postcolonial...
