A book in honour of Tunde Kelani
No full textThe essays in this book of appreciation speak to these joys that the films of Tunde Kelani (and those of a few others explored in the book) bring to the heart and the mind. The magic of translating and transforming a verbal narrative to a pictorial narrative is indeed a reawakening to the ever-evolving wonder of further-creativity.Every re-interpretation of a work of art is an enrichment of the culture that inspired that work in the first place. The artist of the reinterpretation is truly blessed not only by the initial artist but by the community and the culture called upon to see itself in another light, a new might. It is in this way that Tunde Kelani is blessed and a blessing to Yoruba culture and the Nigerian community.
TK's films, unlike other films of Nollywood notoriety, are quintessential victories of the communal art form involving the writer, the film script writer, the actors male and female, the camera men, the grip holder, the make-up artists, the costume makers, the musicians, the post-production crew of editors and voice over contributors, all under the supreme director-creator TK. Any wonder then that the films of Tunde Kelani are such delights to the eyes and the ears of his audience

An Evaluation of Aspects of Culture and Grammatical Metaphors in Selected Tunde Kelani’s Films
Get PDFThis paper analyses aspects of culture and grammatical metaphor in Tunde Kelani’s films. Both primary and secondary sources of data are employed for the analysis of this study. The primary source includes five purposively selected films of Tunde Kelani. The study is restricted to only five of Kelani’s films because of their richness in grammatical metaphor. Books, journals, articles and the internet form the secondary source of data. Data were analysed within the provision of Halliday’s theoretical notion of grammatical metaphor introduced in 1985 within his Systemic Functional Grammar. The results show that Tunde Kelani employs interrogative construction for statement to clear the interrogator’s doubt, to achieve diplomacy, to suggest lack of direction, to dodge subsequent question, etc. Second, the analysis of grammatical metaphor in the films reveals that Kelani utilizes statement in the directive mood for politeness purpose. Third, the study shows that statement could be used to express the directive mood. This reflects indecision from the part of the speaker. It also reflects the power relation between the interlocutors involved. In conclusion, the complexity of the information in Nigeria’s films is as a result of the different forms of grammatical metaphors used. In a nut shell, grammatical metaphor creates tension, suspense and dramatic irony in Tunde Kelani’s films, thereby making them interesting enough. Therefore, the aspects of grammatical metaphor of Nigeria’s films should be studied to get the whole thematic concerns therein. In this paper it is suggested that further studies be carried out with some attentions on stylistic analyses in order to have a holistic understanding of Tunde Kelani’s films.

UnAfrican Americans: Nineteenth-Century Black Nationalists and the Civilizing Mission
Get PDFThough many scholars will acknowledge the Anglo-Saxon character of black American nationalism, few have dealt with the imperialistic ramifications of this connection. Now, Nigerian-born scholar Tunde Adeleke reexamines nineteenth-century black American nationalism, finding not only that it embodied the racist and paternalistic values of Euro-American culture but also that nationalism played an active role in justifying Europe\u27s intrusion into Africa.
Adeleke looks at the life and work of Martin Delany, Alexander Crummell, and Harry McNeal Turner, demonstrating that as supporters of the mission civilisatrice ( civilizing mission ) these men helped lay the foundation for the colonization of Africa. By exposing the imperialistic character of nineteenth-century black American nationalism, Adeleke reveals a deep historical and cultural divide between Africa and the black diaspora. Black American nationalists had a clear preference--Euro-America over Africa--and their plans were not designed for the immediate benefit of Africans but to enhance their own fortunes. Arguing that these men held a strong desire for cultural affinity with Europe, Adeleke makes a controversial addition to the ongoing debate concerning the roots of black nationalism and Pan-Africanism.
Tunde Adeleke is associate professor of history and director of Africana Studies at Loyola University.
An interesting treatment of black nationalism in the U.S. —Booklist
His thesis is certain to stir controvery and cause a rethinking of the African diaspora. —Choice
An important and pioneering book that will change the way American historians think about nineteenth-century black nationalism. . . . One of the most powerful rethinkings of black American nationalism that has been written in the past thirty years. —Clarence Walker
The strength of UnAfrican Americans is its author\u27s frank presentation of the anti-African, or civilizationalist, face of its subjects. —H-NET Book Review
Lays bare, in provocative ways, some of the more troubling aspects of nineteenth-century black nationalism. —Journal of American History
In this fine exploration of the ‘double consciousness’ of the ‘golden age’ of black American nationalism, historian Tunde Adeleke makes an important contribution to the project to correct the monolithic perception of black nationalism as a counter culture movement fundamentally opposed to racial oppression. —Journal of Intercultural Studies
Passionate and well written, Adeleke\u27s stunning reexamination of three 19th-century African Americans is bound to be controversial. With fresh lucid prose and wry wit, he brings to light the historic ironies and philosophical hypocrisies that continue to shape African and African American lives. —Publishers Weekly
He argues 19th century African Americans were no different than Euro-Americans: They wanted to colonize Africa and to establish a black homeland, but if established, this homeland would be based upon European, not African, civilization. —The Griothttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_african_american_studies/1021/thumbnail.jp
