Eagle on Irok Selected Papers from the Chinua Achebe International Symposium 1990

The great "father of African literature" is honoured in this collection of papers from the international symposium in 1990, on the occasion of his 60th birthday, attended by resentatives from over 50 countries worldwide. The selected papers are grouped into six sections. History and Worldview leads into Social Commitment, followed by Anthills of the Savannah, the Image of Women, Narrative Art, and Comparative Perspectives. The themes reflect the many sides of Achebe's literary output - a world figure whose unchanging canvas is African society; and whilst there can never be a last word, this volume represents the most thorough critique of the works of a literary giant.Ihekweazu, Edith is the author of 'Eagle on Irok Selected Papers from the Chinua Achebe International Symposium 1990' with ISBN 9789781293795 and ISBN 9781293799.
