AFRICA'S DIRGE: THE ILLUSION OF SOLUTIONS TO THE NATIONS?
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the centuries, the theatrical and pretentious activities of African Political leaders have culminated in the evolution of a thick skin of carelessness and indifference guided by fuzzy and visionless eyes that stare hopelessly into the future. It is certainly difficult now to determine what could stair her to realize her precarious situation and act. Time and again African nations have proven unable to solve petty problems, thoughtless of managing weightier matters of the current century, while her keen and expectant citizens behold, distressed with disillusion and frustration. Employing a constructivist paradigm the studyfocuses onthe works of artists whose works reference issues of the continent of Africa, as means to lambast satirize and chastise her to wake up. The work is organised on the basis of Stream - Write,a qualitative method of research through art that share qualities of prose, poetry and drama to benefits from the expressive qualities available in same, and to allow for the liberty needed in exploring the domain of the intuitive, creative and sometimes illogical writing impulse. From all historical indications I submit in conclusion that indeed Africa is gleefully willing and hopeful to embrace an end far worse than her most dreadful past.
