An African Popular Literature: A Study of Onitsha Market Pamphlets
Obiechina, Emmanuel (University of Nigeria)
This 1973 text was the first study of that phenomenon of the African literary scene, Onitsha market literature. Dr Obiechina asks what we can learn from the Onitsha authors about social change in Nigeria - how do they reconcile the traditional rural community and the aggressive individualistic urban society with alien values?
