Hard cover. First edition. 328 p. Includes illustrations. Dr Pat Oyelola is a much loved figure in Nigerian art circles who taught for some years at the University of Ibadan and has written numerous articles and books on aspects of Nigerian art. Whilst doing my research and on subsequent occasions I was one of many visiting students over the years who have benefitted from her guidance, kindness and hospitality. Her latest and most substantial book is a 300 page survey that ranges across the whole range of Nigerian arts, from body decoration and hairdressing, to textiles, beadwork, pottery, calabash decoration basketry, sculpture in wood and metal, and the impact of these traditions on contemporary artists. The textiles section runs for over 70 pages and presents a local perspective on weaving, dyeing, embroidery, and dress forms over the years from someone who has actively participated in wearing many of the products as well as studying them over several decades. I particularly like the way in which continuities between present day practice and the art forms of the past is seen as a taken for granted aspect of Nigerian artistic life rather than as a problematic issue or a radical break with traditions. Fine in fine dust jacket. Signed by author.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Illustrated by Bruce Onobrakpeya. (illustrator). Reprint. LONDON : 1963. [ First published in 1960.]. African writers series ; 3. A novel about Nigerian returning from study in Britain. Paperback; sewn book. Illustrated by Bruce Onobrakpeya. Black, orange and grey pictorial covers. Neat owner name; no internal markings. Bright, tight and clean. Minor wear only. VERY GOOD. 170 pages. CHINUA ACHEBE (1930-2013) was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel. Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy". Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987). In the West, Achebe is often referred to as the "father of African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**. 8vo.
