Eulogy to the Quartet and The Gleaning Platform (Trend and End)

摘要

The following two poems are a tribute to honor the four prominent Igbo Scholars who have passed away, and whose works touch most directly on the area of Igbo culture and identity: Prof Don Ohadike, convener of the first Igbo Studies Association conference at Ithaca, Prof Ikenna Nzimiro, member of Dialectical Anthropology’s international editorial board, Prof Victor Uchendu, author of the classic ethnography, The Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria, and most recently, Prof Michael Mbabuike, executive board member of Dialectical Anthropology.
