Recenzii

“Glenn Odom’s Yorùbá Performance, Theatre and Politics creatively links the politics of ritual and theatrical performances to the rhetoric and policies of some of Nigeria’s leading nationalist politicians and civilian and military leaders from the 1950s to the early 1990s. … A major strength of Odom’s work is the rich array of ethnographic and oral sources that he uses to illuminate a Yoruba vocabulary in particular.” (John Thabiti Willis, TDR: The Drama Review, Vol. 63 (1), 2019)
