Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Autobiomythography of sifts through Nigerian stories and mythologies, both inherited and invented, to explore the self, family, and nationhood.In an attempt at decolonization, it is an exploration of what it means to be a subject--a person, yes, but also a literary subject--in the wake and afterlife of colonization. Intimate and personal, it is interested in figuring out how to wrest subjectivity--one's notion of self--from this failed project of modernity. As the title suggests, the book spans and swirls together autobiography, mythology, biography, history (shared and personal), and geography. Amidst myriad speakers in the collection, there is a prominent speaker who, in search of his self/voice, tries on multiple voices--including Frederick Lugard's--and other personas: some closer to who/what he is, whatever that is, and others diametrically opposite. Tangentially, this is a book about a son's relationship with his father. Poem after poem, the speakers interrogate the perceptions of identity, reality, and ownership, and in the pursuit of Truth they erode the boundaries between fact and fiction to show us the fragility of the lines we draw in service to these abstractions, of the beliefs we hold about them, of the acts we perform in service to them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781949944655

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Autobiomythography of sifts through Nigerian stories and mythologies, both inherited and invented, to explore the self, family, and nations. Poem after poem, the speaker tries to define and find what the self is, and, in a tangential way, it is also about a son's relationship with his father alongside his country of birth, Nigeria. It is an exploration of what it means to be a subject-a person, yes, but also a literary subject-in the wake and afterlife of colonization, in an attempt at decolonization. There is a speaker in search of his self/ voice and in the process, tries on multiple voices and personas-some which are closer to what he is, whatever that is, and others diametrically opposite. As the title suggests, the book spans and swirls together autobiography, myth, mythology, biography, history (shared and personal), and geography. The poems interrogate the perceptions of identity, reality, and ownership, and they erode the boundaries between fact and fiction to show us the fragility of the lines we draw in service to these abstractions, of the beliefs we hold about them, of the acts we perform in service to them'.
