Nigeria is a country shaped by internal diversity and transnational
connections, past and present. Leading Nigerian writers from Chinua
Achebe, Amos Tutuola and Wole Soyinka to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and
Teju Cole have portrayed these Nigerian issues, and have also written
about some of the momentous events in Nigerian history. Afropolitan
Horizons discusses their work alongside other novelists and
commentators, as well as describing the ways in which Nigeria has
appeared in foreign news reporting. It is all interwoven with the
author's own anthropological field research in a town in Central
Nigeria.
