Language and the construction of multiple identities in the Nigerian novel examines the multifaceted relation between people and the various identities they construct for themselves and for others through the context-specific ways they use language. Specifically, this book pays attention to how forms of identities – ethnic, cultural, national and gender – are constructed through the use of language in select novels of Adichie, Atta and Betiang. Dr. Romanus 'Rome' Aboh is a senior lecturer in language and literature at the University of Uyo, Nigeria. With a PhD from the University of Ibadan, he has research interests in discourse analysis, pragmatics and identity discourse. Rome's interest in African literature extends beyond academic research and he is a published writer of poetry and fiction.
