| dc.description | The work discusses how politics is expressed in Arabic literary writings in Nigeria. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Politics is a social phenomenal practiced to achieve certain interest in the society. It is usually misconceived to be permanently attached to issues like election, democracy, opposition, governance etc. However, politics is also sometimes consciously or unconsciously practiced in the academic arena. This is because it is employed to protect or oppose some interest like ideology, policy, view and personality. Arabic either as a language or literature also according to our understanding is also an element in the political practice. It is also a platform where politics can also be practiced within the society and academic arena. Therefore this paper is aimed at highlighting and analysing some areas where an element of politics is noticed in the selected prose written in Arabic by the Nigerian authors. The selected works are: “Al – Thaqafatul Al-Arabiyah Fi Naijiriya” by Ali Abubakar (1972), “Misbahu Dirasatil Al Adabiyyah Fi Diyarril Naijiriyah” by Adam Abdullahi Al-Ilory (1967) and “Harakatul lughatil Arabiyyah wa Adabiyyah fi Naijiriyah” by A.S. Galadanci (1993). The selections of these works is based on their status and importance among literary sources in Nigeria and more importantly the wild leadership they enjoy among scholars and researchers in Nigeria. After the study, the works promote African and Nigerian nationalism for the fact that they defend ideologies, people, region and Nigeria as an entity. It is therefore recommended that more intensive and extensive work should be carried out in other to explore political element not only in Arabic language and literature but also in academic arena | |
