This book discusses intellectual militancy and activism in Festus Iyayi's literary works. It redefines the scope of the writer and intellectual undertakings in the contemporary society, and shows how this activism impacts the marginalized individuals who struggle daily to upturn social justice. The book will appeal to those interested in issues of commitment and the socio-aesthetic function of literature, human rights and ethnic issues, power dynamics and state violence.
