Extractions: Pronunciation Key Soyinka, Wole Yoruba The Man Died (1973). In 1986 Soyinka became the first African to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Again under threat of arrest from the Nigerian government, he fled the country in 1994. After the death of Nigeria's military dictator (1998), Soyinka returned home, where he resumed his political activism. Soyinka's works are concerned with the tensions between spiritual and material worlds, with beliefs as the underpinnings of social relations, and with individuals' dependence on one another. His widely performed plays often highlight the problems of daily life in Africa; best known are Death and the King's Horseman (1975) and A Play of Giants (1984), a satiric attack on contemporary Africa. His novels include

Extractions: Wole Soyinka Stupire con le emozioni semplici, ma soprattutto lanciare un forte messaggio di pace: ecco che cosa vuol far trasparire Wole Soyinka dai suoi testi teatrali. Ed è proprio questo stesso messaggio che si è ripetuto nel corso della tavola rotonda che si è tenuta a Palazzo Cisterna mercoledì 30 Settembre. All'incontro hanno partecipato la Presidente dela Giunta Provinciale Mercedes Bresso e l'Assessore alla Cultura Valter Giuliano, Ernesto Olivero del SERMIG e Paolo Bertinetti. La presenza di Soyinka rientra nell'ambito della manifestazione "Identità e differenza", in questi giorni a Torino: con la sua cultura ed umanità, Soyinka è certamente una delle voci più rappresentative della tradizione africana. Paolo Bertinetti tratteggia con sagacia il 'personaggio' Soyinka: "Non solo un drammaturgo che sa fondere il mondo dell'Africa e quello moderno meritando il più alto riconoscimento letterario, ma anche un uomo che sente profondamente i problemi della sua terra e le contraddizioni dell'occidente e non esita a battersi per riaffermare il diritto dei popoli ad essere liberi. Nel corso dell'intervista condotta da Ernesto Olivero, la filosofia liberale di Soyinka è esplicita: bisogna cercare in ogni modo di arginare le aberrazioni del pensiero umano, per evitare che uomini senza scrupoli sottomettano gli inermi. Ma questi sforzi sono vani senza l'appoggio delle potenze occidentali: Soyinka auspica infatti che questi stati non ostacolino come in passato il cammino dell'Africa verso la democratizzazione, ma anzi, che contribuiscano alla formazione di nuove realtà governative e di pensiero".

Extractions: When you order, don't forget our Dollar Store! "I believe implicitly that any work of art which opens out the horizons of the human mind, the human intellect, is by its very nature a force for change, a medium for change." Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka is the most prominent writer from the African continent and one of the greatest living playwrights in the English language. His plays have been produced by the leading professional and repertory companies and stages in the English-speaking world including the National Theatre in Britain and the Lincoln Center in New York. At the same time, Soyinka has been the most consistent campaigner against civil and human rights violations and abuses, on occasion using his drama, poetry, and essays to speak out powerfully and eloquently in defense of the freedom of ordinary citizens and of the conscience and autonomy of the African continent's writers and intellectuals. Featuring interviews with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Anthony Appiah, and the editor, among others

His role in politics and activism is what Jalloh hopes students will explore during the lecture.

Soyinka will present his paper, Arms and the Arts: a Continent's unequal dialogue , on August 11. Soyinka is considered to be one of Africa's greatest writers. His often satirical, seemingly discordant mix of traditional myth and European modernism has attracted both praise and criticism from fellow-countrymen and the international literary community. His involvement in Nigerian political life started in his early teens. He chronicled the political upheaval and its effects on his adolescence and early adulthood in the autobiographical Ibadan

Extractions: Oppose Execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal Revolutionary Worker #990, January 17, 1999 South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has written an open letter to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge requesting clemency for political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is facing execution. The letter was cosigned by Nigerian author Dr. Wole Soyinka. Both Archbishop Tutu and Dr. Wole Soyinka are Nobel Prize laureates. The letter refers the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's recent decision to reject Mumia Abu-Jamal's legal appeals. It says: "The law has taken its course, now it is time for humanity to prevail. We earnestly plead with you for clemency. Reach out to him with the gift of life. Wield the authority conferred upon you by the good people of Pennsylvania on behalf of the highest cherished virtues of which humanity is capablecompassion and mercy." Since late November, this letter has been widely circulated by the Bruderhof community and others. Many prominent people have added their names to the request, including four more Nobel Prize laureates. The following people had signed this clemency appeal as of January 7, 1999: Dorothy Allison, author
