This book explores how modern Nigerian fiction is rooted in
writers' understanding of their identity and perception of Nigeria
as a country and home. Surveying a broad range of authors and
texts, the book shows how these fictionalized representations of
Nigeria reveal authentic perceptions of Nigeria's history and
culture today. Many of the lessons in these works of literature
provide cautionary tales and critiques of Nigeria, as well as an
examination of the lasting impact of colonialism. Furthermore, the
book presents the nation as both the framework and subject of its
narrative. By conducting literary analyses of Nigerian fiction with
historical reference points, this work demonstrates how Nigerian
literature can convey profound themes and knowledge that resonates
with audiences, teaching Nigerians and non-Nigerians about the
colonial and postcolonial experience. The chapters cover topics on
nationhood, women's writing, postcolonial modernity, and Nigerian
literature in the digital age.
