      abstract = {This book discusses globalization trends and influences on  traditional African oral literary performance and the  direction that Ilorin oral art is forced to take by the  changes of the twenty-first century electronic age. It  seeks a new definition of contemporary African bourgeois in  terms of their global reach, imitation of foreign forms,  and collaboration with the owners of primary agencies.  Additionally, it makes a case that African global lords or  new bourgeoisie who are largely products of the new global  capital and multinational corporations? socio-political and  cultural influences fashion their tastes after Western  cultures as portrayed in the digital realm.

He is co-author of Introduction  to African Oral Literature and Performance (2005), and  author of Africanity, Islamicity and Performativity:  Identity in the House of Ilorin (2009), African Discourse  in Islam, Oral Traditions, and Performance (2010), and  Cultural Globalization And Plurality: Africa and the New  World (2011).},
