Globalization, Oral Performance, and African Traditional Poetry[electronic resource] /by Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah. - 1st ed. 2018. - XIII, 100 p. 2 illus.online resource.

1. African Art and the Crisis of Poverty and Social Divisions in a Global Era -- 2. Criticism of African Art and Literature -- 3. Ilorin Traditional Oral Art in the Context of Bourgeois Aesthetics -- 4. A Pact between the Writer and the Oral Performer -- 5. Conclusion.

This book discusses globalization trends and influences on traditional African oral literary performance and the direction that Ilorin oral art is forced to take by the changes of the twenty-first century electronic age. It seeks a new definition of contemporary African bourgeois in terms of their global reach, imitation of foreign forms, and collaboration with the owners of primary agencies. Additionally, it makes a case that African global lords or new bourgeoisie who are largely products of the new global capital and multinational corporations’ socio-political and cultural influences fashion their tastes after Western cultures as portrayed in the digital realm. Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah is Vice-Chancellor, Chief Executive Officer, and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Kwara State University, Nigeria. He is co-author of Introduction to African Oral Literature and Performance (2005), and author of Africanity, Islamicity and Performativity: Identity in the House of Ilorin (2009), African Discourse in Islam, Oral Traditions, and Performance (2010), and Cultural Globalization And Plurality: Africa and the New World (2011).
