S1E71: Book Discussions: Efuru (a Novel) | Flora Nwapa | Postcolonialism | Nigerian Writers

Efuru (a Novel) | Flora Nwapa | Postcolonialism | Nigerian Writers Published in 1966, Efuru was the first major English novel published by a female Nigerian author. In this brief video I introduce the novel and also share some ideas about the best way of reading, understanding, and teaching it. What is Postcolonialism: Since I claim to be a postcolonialism scholar, I think it is apt to include a brief description of my field of study. In my view, Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic field of literary study that focuses on the history of colonialism and native responses to the colonial policies and life after colonialism formally ends. The field of postcolonialism also offers insights into the literature and culture of the  the former European colonies and their struggles after the end of colonialism.   Flora Nwapa.
