Through an engaged analysis of writers such as Wole Soyinka, Ola
Rotimi, Niyi Osundare, and Tanure Ojaide and of African traditional
oral poets like Omoekee Amao Ilorin and Mamman Shata Katsina,
Abdul-Rasheed Na'Allah develops an African indigenous discourse
paradigm for interpreting and understanding literary and cultural
materials. Na'Allah argues for the need for cultural diversity in
critical theorizing in the twenty-first century. He highlights the
critical issues facing scholars and students involved in criticism
and translation of marginalized texts. By returning the African
knowledge system back to its roots and placing it side by side with
Western paradigms, Na'Allah has produced a text that will be
required reading for scholars and students of African culture and
literature. It is an important contribution to scholarship in the
domain of mobility of African oral tradition, and on African
literary, cultural and performance discourse.
