Michael Echeruo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Echeruo (1937) is a Nigerian poet, scholar and critic. He was educated at the University College, Ibadan and was contemporaries with a few notable writers and poets from the college, such as Christopher Okigbo. He was primarily notable as a critic of western writers on Africa, as he viewed himself and his contemporaries as writers fighting for an African point of view instead of a western viewpoint on Africa which was dominant during pre-colonial and colonial period.
