dc.description.abstractBy employing New Historicism as a theoretical premise, this paper takes an inventory of the various ideological convergences that shaped modern African fictions. The main objective is to produce a critical picture of how Islam has substantially featured in the historical configuration of the sub Saharan African novels. By examining the dynamics between Islam and literature, the author exposes the historical formations that had shaped modern African fiction and demonstrates how African writers have precipitated a vibrant corpus of modern fictions from the multiplicity of ideological perspectives and social experiences. Thus, the essay brings into fore the social and psychological ruptures that colonialism inflicted on the landscape of African societies and shows how different writers have reacted to the phenomenon vis-à-vis the background of their religious convictions.en_US
