| dc.description.abstract | The author examines Festus Iyayi’s transformational vision of neocolonial Nigerian society vis-a-vis the economic and social conditions of the masses, using The Contract (I982) as a base. From the materialist perspective, the author views how lyayi presents a remarkable artistic vision that captures or questions certain social constructs that breed incoherence in our politics. The Contracts shows lyayi as a writer who is irrevocably committed to the plight of the masses as they grapple with the cut-throat exploitative attitude of the privileged few. The novel equally announces the battle that the masses must Win in order to experience a genuine social justice in an increasingly morally degenerated society. | en_US |
