    Literature thrives in society the same way that species prosper in an ecosystem, and it is just as dependent upon the health of that society as any given species is upon its physical environment. The African literary 'ecosystem' is confronting real and redoubtable threats from the very people who have been raised and educated in it. In traditional Yor uba society, the whole fabric of living was aesthetically patterned with the thread of literature. When colonialism intervened, it profoundly changed the traditional role reserved for literature. Besides, the spread of European-style education in Nigeria has fostered the emergence of an English-language literature that is incapable of providing socially critical feedback, and it has instituted a "dumb" (or written) version of African-language literature that also fails to fulfill a feedback function because the majority of people cannot read it. African writers who publish their works in foreign languages are confusing their market with their audience. A genuine audience inhabits the same literacy ecosystem as a writer.

    This paper demonstrates the need to place language at the forefront of the quest for the African indigenous, creative, and productive self that has so often been depicted in literatures of the black world. Comparing writings from the continent with writings from the diaspora, the researcher is confronted with a broad range of responses to the legacy of slavery and colonialism, in terms of their impact upon the use of language. This diversity of opinion and practice can be considered under four broadly defined tendencies: 1) an acceptance of the languages of enslavement and colonization as the only practical, albeit inadequate, tool of self-expression; 2) an Africanization of the colonizer's language and the attempt to transform it into a weapon of cultural liberation; 3) a repudiation of the imposed language of enslavement/colonization and a return to the mother tongue; and 4) a reinvention of the 'mother tongue' as 'nation language' in the African diaspora.
