Ethno-Religious Crises In Nigeria And National Integration: The Role Of The Youth, Oluwaseun Viyon Ojo

Oluwaseun Viyon Ojo

The increasing wave of ethno-religious crises in the Nigeria polity had been a deep subject of concern to all stakeholders .Political scientists, religious leaders, legal experts, economic analysts and even the ordinary citizens have been alarmed by the devastating consequences that these increased ethno religious imbroglios had occasioned to the continued existence of the polity and cohesion of the Nigerian society. Many are of the strong opinion that the continued presence of ethno religious crises, social imbroglios and political upheavals dread the very essence of having to live together interdependently in the society.

"Not I!": Strategies Of Post-Millennial Confessionalistic Poetry, Charlotte J. Pence Jan 2015

"Not I!": Strategies Of Post-Millennial Confessionalistic Poetry, Charlotte J. Pence

Charlotte Pence

With the technological ability and pop-cultural fascination to record private moments and distribute them, poetry that reveals personal details and conflates the identity between speaker and author must feel the effects of what could be viewed as an over-saturation of the confessional—which was during the 1950s and 1960s with Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton, and Sylvia Plath a political, rebellious act. It is far from that now. In this Kim Kardashian era, revealing sex tapes are used as marketing tools to launch careers whereas once they destroyed careers.

Mothers Of Sparta, Dawn D. Tyrrell Jan 2015

Mothers Of Sparta, Dawn D. Tyrrell

Dawn D Tyrrell

Mothers of Sparta is a collection of thirteen personal essays that examine place—knowing one’s place, and finding one’s place in the world. The narrative arc chronicles the narrator’s childhood, young adulthood, marriage and child rearing years, ultimately encompassing the difficulties of raising a child who, due to brain damage, faces an uncertain future. As the narrator grows older, place shifts from a concrete knowledge of the physical world around her, to learning her place within gendered and regional social constructs, and defining her place through roles such as wife, mother, student and writer. These essays are diverse in style. Woven …
