Ifeoma Okoye: socialist-feminist political horizons in Nigerian literature

Adam Mayer

Review of African Political Economy, 2018, vol. 45, issue 156, 335-344

Abstract: Nigerian author Ifeoma Okoye’s novel The Fourth World, published in 2013, presents us with a truly 21st century African unified socialist-feminist theory, while it places individual growth firmly in the community of an eponymous shanty in Enugu, Igboland. Through this novel, we observe how dictates of survival are transformed into acts of moral choice through the agency of work by a young girl of extraordinary character, helped by the congeniality of the community and by radical organisers.
