African writers had no other issues to focus on apart from the issues of racism, economic class, leadership, traditional African values, and some post-colonial issues which were predominant in their society. The work will use postcolonial, Marxist and sociological theories and methods in the analysis. There is a denial of rights and subjugation. Finally, since literature and society are interwoven, there is a reaction of protest from the writers as a means of protest literature.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Asian and African Studies}, author={Ordu, Stanley and Better Odukwu}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={01–09} }
