Abstract

[The terms Literature of the Niger Delta and Niger Delta Literature are used interchangeably in this study to mean works of literature that have been produced by both indigenes of the Niger Delta and outsiders about the region. These literary works are either set in the Niger Delta or take their themes from the experiences of the people of the region. This study attempts to define Niger Delta literature and examines it as a reflection of the experiences of the region’s people. This literature also reflects the locale and is informed by, among others, geographical, bioregional, sociocultural, and political factors.]
