| dc.description.abstract | Chukwuezi’s creative writings in Igbo, particularly his plays are committed to reflecting the Igbo traditional way of life. In his depiction of the Igbo world, he sometimes portrays the conflict between Igbo culture and western tradition. And he uses his literary works to express his strong belief in his conservation of Igbo cultural values. Thematically, Chukwuezi has, among others, found in Igbo traditional religion source material for his creative works. Two of his plays, Aku Fechaa ( 1979a) and Akwa Nwa (1979b) for instance, are based on Igbo traditional religions belief, and the recurrent element in the two literary works is the myth of invincibility and irresistible power of the Igbo deities. | en_US |
