Abstract:

<strong>Abstract</strong> In his poetic engagement spanning almost fifty years, Kofi Awoonor has consistently interrogated postcolonial African condition. Consequently, postcolonial disillusionment and disappointment are subjects that have preoccupied many African writers and are thus extended in Kofi Awoonor’s <em>More Messages</em>. Awoonor reveals that one of the problems in postcolonial African society is the sense of intellectual inadequacy inculcated into the African colonial elite, the chicanery of politics and the betrayal or neglect of poetic heritage. This paper examines Awoono

Abstract:

Ghanaian novelists are notorious for their long absences from fiction, and the 1990s have seen the long-awaited return of some major talents. Kofi Awoonor and Ama Ata Aidoo allowed, respectively, 21 and 14 years to pass between the publication of their first and second novels, while 17 years separated the fifth and sixth works of Ayi Kwei Armah, the best-established writer of the three. Meanwhile, each has been active in other genres during the long intervals — poetry, short stories, essays – and none of them have fallen silent. Awoonor indicated, shortly after his experimental poetic first no

Abstract:

This paper discusses some ecocritical ideas in selected poems by Kofi Awoonor, Kofi Anyidoho and the Negritude poets David Diop and Birago Diop. Drawing on postcolonial ecocriticism theory the paper focuses on ecocritical symbolisms and their ramifications in order to show how African poets attend to the environment, community and modernity’s many flaws. The consideration of the Negritude poems in this study stems from the fact that Negritude Literature in general and the selected poems in particular have been examined mainly within the context of Black African identity and the antiracist effo

Abstract:

This paper situates Martin Egblewogbe’s short story collection Mr. Happy and the Hammer of God & Other Stories (2008) within intertextual discourses as they relate to the tri-generational canon of Ghanaian, and by extension, African literature. It argues against the easy temptation of reading the work via uncontextualized metaphysical or existentialist paradigms, or what Wole Soyinka (1976) refers to as the undifferentiated mono-lenses of “universal humanoid abstractions,” and instead situates it within the Ghanaian tradition by pointing out the collection’s filiation to the specific trope

Abstract:

New Year purification ceremonies are perhaps spread more widely over African fiction than African drama, ranging from the disposal of the old year's yams at the Feast of the New Yam in Achebe'sThings Fall Apartto the Somalian Rendezvous of the Brooms which, in Nurridin Farah's novelSweet and Sour Milk, the military dictatorship perverts into a political circus. More specifically, the annual rite of the carrier, who bears away the sins and misfortunes of the past year in the form of a miniature wooden boat, a bundle of twigs or a wicker effigy, is handled figuratively in the first novels of the

This paper is informed by the extensive corpus of African postcolonial critique that examines the after-effects of empire in ex-colonial societies. Thus, in the studied engagement of the Ghanaian ex-colonial state, this paper turns to Awoonor’s This Earth, My Brother..., read as one of such commentaries on the rusted, conscienceless ex-colonial nation and the tones of negative burdens laid on citizens’ existential quest for selfhood, self-actualisation and the assertion of identity. In such a circumstance, one may be lost between the real world and a wishful world; the real being the present s

Introduction: The explosive growth of cellphone usage in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) has made mobile technology an increasingly attractive form of information communication technology (ICT) to be used to meet healthcare needs that go unmet, rising due to the paucity of trained clinical workers (O’Donovan, Bersin, & O’Donovan, 2015).

Abstract:

Oral tradition, which assembles knowledge, memories, and values have been typically configured in the linguistic artifacts of a nonliterary or aesthetic-literary nature. This is by far reflected in the works of most African literary writers who reappropriate the colonial heritage and language to be the foundation upon which they build their innovation, activism, and the general education of their African brethren. The works of Kofi Awoonor and Kofi Anyidoho fall within this categorization. Some of their works depict them as disquieted individuals advocating for the sustenance of the African tr
