African Writing - Chin Ce

Chin Ce's oeuvres here under study include his well known fictions, Children of Koloko [2001], Gamji College [2002] and poetry, An African Eclipse [1992]. The three have been subjects of critical commentaries on modern Nigerian (read African) experiments in nation-state building by few critics of African literature. Attempts have also been made to give Chin Ce’s other works, The Visitor [2004] (fiction) and Full Moon [2001] (poetry) as much critical attention here as his Millennial [2005] collection of poems. These papers taken as an overview reveal, as is the aim of this volume, the ideals, craft and vision of Chin Ce’s fictional preoccupation in recent times.
