Description

Postcolonial Mythology and Ethnic Self-Canonization in Biafran Fiction and Activism explores the ways in which communities that have been marginalized in colonial discourses attempt to reconstruct their identities, histories, and narratives through the use of postcolonial myths. The deconstruction of stereotypes and creation of self-referential myths often play a crucial role in empowering marginalised communities to reassert their cultural identity and reclaim their cultural symbols with narratives of counter-history. Relying on the experience of the Igbo and the Nigeria-Biafra War event, the book demonstrates how ethnic groups in Africa articulate their resistance against subalternity. Through literary, historical, and archival analyses, it offers an unbiased reading of postcolonial mythologies and counter-mythologies in Biafran literature and activism and how they contribute to a broader understanding of colonialism, ethnic-minoritization and ethnic self-canonization. With its robust analysis, the book sets new benchmarks for scholars, researchers, teachers and students in humanities and social sciences, especially literature, history, political science and anthropology for re-reading ethnicity and rethinking the timeless value of inter-ethnic communication.
