Strategic Transformations in Nigerian Writing: Orality & History in the Work of Rev. Samuel Johnson, Amos Tutuola, Wole Soyinka & Ben Okri (Studies in African Literature)
The author of this work takes issue with the prevalent use of "oral
tradition" in the criticism of Europhone written literature as a cultural
matrix. Instead, he proposes a view of literary tradition as the outcome of
numerous acts of positioning in relation to indigenous resources.
