IGBO Market Literature
Edited by S. Okechukwu Mezu
The classis of the Onitsha Market in Nigeria. Unique phenomenon in Africa. More than 4,000 original pages, un-expurgated, unabashed, ungrammatical, earthy, vibrant, hilarious, incredible often, but defnitely healthy and revealing of the real Africa for the young and the adult.
Sometimes called the Onitsha Chap Books, they are the veritable cradles of modern African literature, and possibly the only authentic black African written literature in modern times written by the people for the people. No serious study of modern African literature and culture can be done without reference to these unqieu documents uninfluenced by cartesian logic, unpolluted by deep immersion in Western erudition and unhaunted by the desire to cater to a foreign market.
For the first time ever the chap books are presented together after years of search and research in five convenient volumes with an introduction - a collector's item. Sold only as a set.
