- Title
Introduction: Civic Dissent and Violence in Nigeria: Literature, Film, and Media.
- Authors
Malreddy, Pavan Kumar; Onah, Chijioke K.
- Abstract
The article focuses on civic dissent in Nigeria, which is often used as a political tool by multiple power stakeholders in a pluralistic society and it examines key events that shaped postcolonial Nigeria. The article also advances the notion of civic dissent as a conceptual platform to understand public manifestations of unfulfilled nationalist aspirations, and other such contesting practices that have historically crystallized since the formal end of colonialism.
