Analysis of "Come Away my Love" by Joseph Kariuki

According to Chinua Achebe, as stated in the Author’s biography, “Come Away my Love” is a love poem. It is a love poem about the trials and tribulation of a love affair between a black man from Kenya and a white woman from England. Analogously, it is about the embodiment of altercations experienced in an inter-racial relationship. That is, this will be the same issue encountered by an Asian espoused to a European/American, or an Indian alongside an African. Being a love poem, the title of the poem gives a hint about the typical lovers’ activities. They come away from the public eyes into a secret/romantic environment where there love, affection and energy can be optimally consummated. However, another meaning can be derived from this title. The meaning that can be derived is that the persona is asking his lover to rendezvous at a secret location away from the society that has proven counterproductive towards their love. The society has been an inhibiting factor for their love be...

Critical Analysis of "Vanity" by Birago Diop.

VANITY (Analysis) Vanity is Birago Diop’s way of expressing the frustrations of Africans after colonization. During, and after, colonization, eurocentrism was rampant. Eurocentrism  is the act of accepting and digesting the European culture hook sink and liner while neglecting one’s (local) culture and tradition.

These are the issues that if the poet persona should start to narrate, who will hear them without first laughing at them? If we tell, gently gently All that we shall one day have                          to tell Who then will hear our voices            ...

A Critical Analysis of "A Sandal on the Head" by Kwesi Brew

A SANDAL ON THE HEAD (Analysis) This poem has the lyrical characteristics of African orality. It is not written in the regular English poet’s literal form of writing. Kwesi Brew employed the use of proverbs and African adage to paint the poem with beautiful and colourful imagery. The features are metaphors embedded with African proverbs. Examples of these imagery are evident in: The broken cannot be made whole! The strong had sheltered in their strength The swift had sought life in their speed, The crippled and the tired heaped out of the way These statements are more than witty statements. Moreover, what this excerpt also mean is that things are seemingly not going the proper way. Perhaps the economy or political structure is defunct. The broken cannot be made whole will mean that things have been destroyed beyond reparation. That things have totally fallen apart. As a result of this hardship, only the strong, favoured, fortunate and opportune are able to endur...
