Naija Marxisms: Revolutionary Thought In Nigeria

Traces the historical trajectories that leftist movements in Nigeria underwent since the 1940s. Mayer explores the international context of Nigerian Marxism and provides core chapters on key thinkers including Mokwugo Okoye, Ikenna Nzimiro and Eskor Toyo among many others. He argues that Marxism is alive and well in Nigeria. Mayer includes pre-eminent thinkers such as Usman Tar and Edwin Madunagu who are currently espousing a Marxian political economy and providing a class-based approach in the country's mainstream media channels. --From publisher description.
