Sobre IBD

This final and sixth volume of Udenta O. Udenta’s boyhood writings offers a collection of creative pieces ranging from a poetic drama steeped in Graeco-Roman mythical lore and short stories recalling the pangs of the short-lived Republic of Biafra and explorations into the magical and supernatural realm of tales anchored in the Igbo worldview.

  • Art, Society and Identity
    Udenta O. Udenta
    Art, Society and Identity is an important and timely intervention in the study of postcolonial African literature given, not only its profound reading of select fictional, poetic and dramatic texts, but most crucially its comprehensive rebuttal of the postmodernist and poststructuralist invasion of the postcolonial African aesthetic domain. The author combines an authoritative ...

    Heroism and Critical Consciousness in African Literature which was originally published in 1994 as Ideological Sanction and Social Action in African Literature is a stimulating discourse on the subjectivisation of the heroic type in African literature as a product of historical and social forces and processes and the location of aesthetic consciousness that is undergirded by te...

    Udenta O. Udenta
    The Wrath of the Gods, a mature work of social and magical realism, tells a poignant tale of hatred between two neighbouring communities, Isiagu and Ememu, driven by men’s ego and unthinking clamour for individual glory, which eventually led both parties down the path of disobedience of malevolent spirits and resulting into a general, undiscriminatory, unrelenting maelstrom of ...

  • 37 Seasons before the Tornado
    Udenta O. Udenta
    In the Preface to this collection, the poet says “Season is another name for year in the same way that wind incarnates geography, turbulence or even quietude. Such contradiction is the joy of poetry, especially the type that deploys allusive and metaphoric sequences for significatory purposes. The celebration of life is the acknowledgement of death just as the arrest of time eq...
  • Autonomy of Values
    Udenta O. Udenta
    In this highly challenging, provocative and sometimes, disturbing philosophical work, the author argues that reality is a function of value while value in turn projects three distinct properties: determination, affirmation and mediation. He contends that all values are amoral at their point of incarnation; that determination is a process of becoming; that affirmation of values ...
