A Little About The Book: “In Dependence”
The book is written by a Nigerian named
SARAH LADIPO MANYINKA who was born
in Ibadan (South West Nigeria) in the late
1930s.
"In Dependence" tells the story of Tayo
Ajayi, a Nigerian man who gets a
scholarship to study at Oxford in the
1960s, and Vanessa Richardson, the
daughter of an ex-colonial officer. Tayo
meets and falls in love with Vanessa
Richardson, a British colonial officer’s
daughter. And they negotiate their
relationship against a background of race
and racism. While it is a story of their love
which spans from 1963 to 1998, it's way
more than that.
It's also a story about Nigeria, its
independence and the changes that occur
in the country post-independence - the
Biafran war, the first coup and the
numerous countercoups, military
dictatorships, the brief return to civilian
rule, exile of Nigerians, and towards the
end of the book the eventual return to
democracy.
There are also issues of race, racism and
cultural differences.
