About Wole Soyinka
About Aké: The Years of Childhood
Aké: The Years of Childhood is Wole Soyinka's lyrical memoir of his early years (1934-1944) growing up in the Yoruba town of Aké, Abeokuta. The young Soyinka emerges as a precocious, mischievous, and questioning child in a household of educators — his father a school headmaster, his mother an entrepreneur and women's rights activist (the famous 'Wild Christian'). Through Soyinka's child's eye, we see colonial Nigeria, World War II, the early stirrings of independence movements, and the rich Yoruba cultural world that would shape his later writing. One of the great childhood memoirs of the 20th century.
