Argument on the functionality of literature has continued to resonate. African writers have dismissed the concept of art for arts sake as deodorized dog shit,insisting that art must address sociopolitical realities. African writers are seen as the voice of vision,of their people. What voice or language,then, should the African writer use;impeccable foreign language,and fail to reach the majority of Africans who lack western education? Or ethnic language in a multiracial continent like Africa and still fail,incidentally,toreach yet a majority of the peoples of Africa? Ola Rotimi successfully addressed the sociopolitical and economic realities of Nigeria cum Africa,and toned down the English language,in order to make it accessible.This book has analysed Rotimis IF...A TRAGEDY OF THE RULED,HOPES OF THE LIVING DEAD,OUR HUSBAND HAS GONE MAD AGAIN,and MAN TALK, WOMAN TALK because the texts exude remarkable commitment,on the writers part,to issues of societal relevance and significance. Scholars and students of African literature and indeed anybody interested in the sociopolitical realities of postcolonial Africa should find this book very helpful.
