This extraordinary illustrated story Toyin Ojih Odutola s
best-known body of work chronicles the private lives of two
fictional aristocratic Nigerian families, the UmuEze Amara Clan and
the House of Obafemi, if colonialist and slave-trade interventions
had never disrupted the country. Rendered life-size in charcoal,
pastel, and pencil, Ojih Odutola s figures appear enigmatic and
mysterious, set against the artist s larger conceived narrative,
highlighting the malleability of identity and assumptions about
race, wealth, and class. The UmuEze Amara Clan and the House of
Obafemi presents the story of these families in four chapters
illustrated and authored by Ojih Odutola, accompanied by the artist
s sketches and notes. Also included are several insightful essays
on the artist herself by noted writers and critics Zadie Smith,
Leigh Raiford, and others. An introduction to the artist s vivid
fictionalised world, as well as a reflection on the role of this
body of work within her broader practice, this remarkable volume
serves as the essential guide to Ojih Odutola s unique form of
storytelling.
