The Dialectics of Unity in Diversity: Osofisan's Proposal in Another Raft

Abstract

One of the most discussed issues in contemporary African literary world is the need for the diverse ethnic groups in the continent to forge a common ground, and attack the various socio-political and economic hindrances that militate against the growth and development of Africa. The focus of this study is to use the Nigerian state and her socio-cultural and political upheavals as projective modes for the dialectics of unity in diversity. The play under study is Femi Osofisan's Another Raft (1988).
