Thank you very much Ogaga Ifowodo for this insightful article on this our critical thought leader Professor Biodun Jeyifo. Might I suggest that you attempt to unpack/deconstruct the ‘historical materialism’ analytical tools pertinent to literary critique that you’ve referred to as being used by BJ and point out how he arrived to revise his position with regards to his critique of Soyinka in what is a ‘new’ epistemological break. Thank you. Ese Fekarurhobo
