Onitsha Market Literature
University of Kansas
The general public is invited to consult KU’s digital collection of Onitsha materials, and it is hoped that scholars will find materials to enhance their teaching and research. The recurring subject of love and marriage in the market literature enlivens course activities that deal with these themes and related popular culture issues. Historians, literary critics, anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, political scientists and psychologists--among others--will find benefits from the digital collection.
