About the book

Oyekan Owomoyela, the late Ryan Professor of African literatures at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was a leading scholar in the field of African literature and a foremost authority on Yoruban traditional literary forms in particular. Consisting of 27 scholarly essays covering Owomoyela's work, this illuminating collection honours his life's work. The contributors are all noted scholars and represent a comprehensive cross-section of the humanities, offering fresh, multi-disciplinary interpretations of the Yoruban cultural experience.
