Ayo Ayo Ayo and other Love Songs is deeply personal, authentic, and incisive. Written with poetic fervor and sophistication, it highlights the thematic and stylistic preoccupations of the writer in the context of pain, violence, and recovery. The poems reflect a degree of conviction and sense of commitment that suggest new directions and possibilities in Sierra Leonean literature.
This collection of poems examines the causes of the African, specifically Sierra Leonean, condition, evaluates the African immigrant's situation in the West, hints at the role and culpability of corporate West in African wars and woes, and concludes that Africans must ultimately assume the responsibility of rebuilding their continent.
The Sierra Leonean author talks to his readers about the colours black and white, and about the concept of racism. The objective is to highlight the roles played by Sierra Leone history, language, culture, politics, religion and economy in promoting racism. The author however cautions that, "our concern with racism should not diminish our sense of the gravity of other no less virulent forms of bigotry. It should be clear that discrimination, even when it is not racist, should not be tolerated. Some non-racist forms of discrimination which can even lead to ethnic genocide are just as dangerous as racism!"
In Layila, Kakatua wan bi Lida, Coolie Forde rehearses some invaluable thoughts on the way forward for post war Sierra Leone. The play highlights the problems of good governance. Through the vision of the main character, Aminata, the Author outlines the role she intends to play as an agent of change in Sierra Leone, which is in line with the Theme of the Commonwealth Lecture 2011 – “Women as agents of Change,”
The real tragedy of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet is not that the title characters die. What is far more tragic is that Juliet actually ends up with a mere player (whose cheesy pickup lines only sound good in iambic pentameter and whose sole goal is to bed her) when all the while the perfect-in-every-way Paris is waiting to commit to marriage! The Properer Man spins the characters from Shakespeares famous play into a twenty-first-century American setting featuring pop star Rome Ayo, the patient Harvard-educated suitor Con Pierce, Julia Cappell and her real estate tycoon father, and of course, Dr. Shaelyn K. Speare, who supplies a happy ending thats much more satisfying than a stage littered with corpses. The Properer Man will appeal to readers who simply want to spend a long afternoon in a modern world where perfect males really do exist. Allusions, though, to Shakespeares characters, story line, imagery, and even oft-quoted passages mean the novella can also encourage literature students to analyze how an author transforms source material. (The answers are even included.)
This book investigates how identities for West African women are created and recreated through the broad interplay of Nollywood film viewing on social and individual levels. Since many Nollywood films are freely accessible online, the role of online communities repurposes Nollywood films. Female Narratives in Nollywood Melodramas addresses if this is a good or bad promoter of critical consciousness, as many of the films depict the stifling of women. The authors examine nine Nollywood melodramas through Black feminist, cultivation, audience reception, and social identity theories. Readers will gain an understanding of how Nollywood is a product and contributor to evolving processes of globalization. Recommended for scholars of film studies, communication, African studies, and women studies.
