Abstract:
This research paper explores the profound influence of African American folklore in the novels of Toni Morrison. By examining her essential novels such as Beloved, Song of Solomon, and Tar Baby, the study investigates how Morrison weaves elements of folklore, including myth, oral traditions, and cultural rituals, into her narratives. The analysis reveals how Morrison employs folklore to enrich her storytelling, develop complex characters, and address themes of identity, memory, and community. Moreover, the research highlights how Morrison’s integration of folklore serves as a powerful tool for

Abstract:
Stories have always been powerful vessels of culture, memory, and identity, especially in African literature, where oral traditions continue to shape the way people see themselves and their world. Dele A. Sonubi’s novel, The Grandfather’s Mandate, brings this rich tradition to life by exploring the tensions between Yoruba heritage and the pressures of Western influence. At its heart, the novel follows a protagonist caught between two worlds—torn between honoring his grandfather’s dying wish and navigating the realities of modern society. This struggle echoes W.E.B.

AbstractThis essay looks at how four contemporary South African plays use performance to render, address, and acknowledge personal and national trauma. By staging acts of cruelty that happen as “ordinary” experience, as perpetual pain, or as representation of life-in-crisis, these plays not only question and complement the national narrative by telling stories that have not found a stage or a listener before, but they also inform and speak to topical societal issues in South Africa such as that of apathy to violence and the question of complicity.

This paper presents a comprehensive postcolonial analysis of Chinua Achebe’s Anthills of the Savannah (1987), focusing on the interplay between political insecurity, failed leadership, and the potential for resistance and renewal in post-independence African societies. Set in the fictional West African nation of Kangan, the novel offers a searing critique of authoritarian governance, systemic corruption, and socio-economic decay. Through a close examination of key characters—Ikem Osodi, Chris Oriko, and Beatrice Okoh—this study explores how Achebe articulates the psychological, structural, and

Student stories are a potentially rich natural resource running through the veins of our schools, but this resource sometimes goes untapped. One strategy teachers can use to take advantage of this resource is to formally introduce oral storytelling into the classroom--to explicitly teach students how to choose and craft stories from their lives and then allow them to publicly perform those stories.
