In The Activist, Nigeria's acclaimed poet, Tanure Ojaide, brings
his sharp sensibilities and writing skills to prose storytelling.
The protagonist makes a reverse trip from America to a home whose
young and able are straining at the leash to escape to the
perceived comforts of the West. Ojaide weaves a compelling
narrative that illuminates the contradictions of state and society
in contempoary Africa. The Activist, however, is more than
testimonial literature. It is visionary and bold as it attempts to
answer the eternal question: What is to be done? At this moment,
this book could not be more timely.
