About the book

First published in 1958 to coincide with Nigeria's independence, The Freedom Fight is the only notable example of the Yor b n revolutionary novel and the longest novel in the Yor b literary corpus to date. Set in 19th century traditional Yor b land, it tells the story of Aj yÒ, the idealistic chieftain's son, who begins to revolt against the injustices of slavery and feudalism. After a long struggle, he eventually wins freedom and independence for the people of Ok , signalling the beginning of the end of feudalism in Yor b land.
