The creative imagination of the area's artists has been fuelled by the area's pressing concerns of indigenous peoples, minority discourse, environmental degradation, climate change, multinational corporations' greed, dictatorship, and people's struggle for control of their resources. Taking a holistic approach to the Niger Delta experience, this book showcases artistic responses from literature, visual arts, and performances (such as masquerades, dances, and festivals). Chapters cover authors, artists, and performers such as Ben Okri, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Isidore Okpewho, J.P. Clark, and Bruce Onobrakpeya, as well as topics like the famous Benin bronze figures and Urhobo Udje dance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAffirming the wealth and diversity of the region which continues to inspire creative artistic productions, \u003cem\u003eThe Literature and Arts of the Niger Delta\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to researchers of African literature, arts, and other cultural productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanure Ojaide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367682893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367682897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Tanure Ojaide","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086541992191,"sku":"9780367682897","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc0fd431-f013-4c13-864a-ce952d9f4c45.jpg?v=1769095268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-literature-and-arts-of-tanure-ojaide-9780367682897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
