Conflagrated Violence in Literature of Diaspora, Wright and Baldwin

Abstract

This paper visualizes a meta-critical approach in delineating the instrument of violence unleashed on the African people beginning from the plight of the African American. The paper argues the psychological and philosophical currents that arise from this phenomenon. The application of realism with narratology demonstrates the question of man and the need for a new direction of tranquillity for Nigeria and Africa.
