Glendora Review
''Glendora Review'' is a Nigerian magazine that publishes work relating to art, literature, and culture. Origins The magazine was conceived in an atmosphere of intellectual crisis, following the brain drain from Nigeria, during the Sani Abacha regime. It was founded by Olakunle Tejuoso and his brother Toyin (whose family owns the Lagos alternative bookstore, after which the journal is named). Olakunle wanted to create a forum where people could access the work being done by Nigerian intellectuals who had fled the country, and a bridge for artistic theories and activities being propagated by African intellectuals in the West and their contemporaries at home. Although it was initially focused on Nigeria's arts and cultures, ''Glendora'' grew into a pan-African journal, with regular features and interviews of icons such as Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Mbongeni Ngema, Sembene Ousmane, Sun Ra, and other critical texts on African literature. The journal also included a books supplement. The l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
