  • WOLE SOYINKA: Politics, Poetics and Postcolonialism
    This page intentionally left blank WOLE SOYINKA Politics, Poetics and Postcolonialism Biodun Jeyifo examines the connections between the innovative and influential writings of Wole Soyinka and his radical politi- cal activism. Jeyifo carries out detailed analyses of Soyinka’s most ambitious works, relating them to the controversies generated by Soyinka’s use of literature and theatre for radical political purposes. He gives a fascinating account of the profound but paradoxical affinities and misgivings Soyinka has felt about the significance of the avant-garde movements of the twentieth century. Jeyifo also explores Soyinka’s works with regard to the impact on his artistic sensibilities of the pervasiveness of representational ambiguity and linguistic exuberance in Yoruba culture. The analyses and evalu- ations of this study are presented in the context of Soyinka’s sus- tained engagement with the violence of collective experience in post-independence, postcolonial Africa and the developing world. No existing study of Soyinka’s works and career has attempted such a systematic investigation of their complex relationship to politics. is Professor of English at Cornell University. He is the author of The Popular Travelling Theatre of Nigeria () and The Truthful Lie: Essays in a Radical Sociology of African Drama (). He has written essays and monographs on Anglophone African and Caribbean literatures, Marxist cultural theory and colonial and postcolonial studies and has also edited several volumes on African drama and critical discourse. Series editor: Professor Abiola Irele, Ohio State University Each volume in this unique series of critical studies will offer a comprehensive and in-depth account of the whole œuvre of one individual writer from Africa or the Caribbean, in such a way that the book may be considered a complete coverage of the writer’s expression up to the time the study is undertaken.

  • Afrocentric Testifying in the Discourse of Teena Marie
    Appropriation as Appreciation: Afrocentric Testifying in the Discourse of Teena Marie CARLOS D. MORRISON AND JACQUELINE ALLEN TRIMBLE One of the major debates or controversies in the Black1 popular sphere concerns the role of White artists in Black culture. Some Black scholars, artists, journalists and writers argue that white recording stars such as Taylor Swift, Macklemore, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, and others appropriate Black idioms, practices, and nuances. The thinking is that these White artists have little understanding of or appreciation for Black history, political struggle, or condition but mimic various aspects of Black popular culture in their music and videos for profit and street credibility within the Black community. Moreover, many have suggested that radio stations and record companies are the real culprits behind the rise of White artists: “The gatekeepers of the radio stations and record companies who have less investment in Black people and culture are more likely to elevate an Iggy Azalea over an Azealia Banks” (qtd. in Thompson 99). The current debate has roots in a long history of cultural appropriation extending from minstrelsy to Pat Boone’s making millions singing covers of Little Richard’s “Tutti Fruitti” and Fat’s Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame” to Taylor Swift’s recent rendition of Earth Wind and Fire’s “September.” Undergirding each of these examples are artists and record 1 The terms “African American” and “Black” are used interchangeably throughout the article.
