Genres

Abeokuta

The "Abeokuta" category of books encompasses a collection of literary works that are either set in, inspired by, or thematically connected to Abeokuta, a city in southwestern Nigeria with a rich cultural and historical heritage. As the capital of Ogun State, Abeokuta has a storied past, including its role as a refuge for those escaping slave raids, which is reflected in its name meaning "Under the Rock". This genre could include a diverse range of narratives, from historical accounts of the Egba people and their resistance against colonial forces, to contemporary fiction exploring the city's modern-day social dynamics. It may also feature biographies of notable figures from Abeokuta, travelogues detailing the city's landmarks such as the Olumo Rock, or even scholarly works examining its socio-economic development, traditional practices, and contributions to Nigerian art, literature, and politics.
