Please join us to celebrate the opening of “Street Talk”: Pamphlet Literature of the Nigerian Marketplace on view in the Hanke Gallery of Sterling Memorial Library.
Onitsha Market Literature—named after a city east of the Niger River—emerged in the early 1950s. The popular pamphlet style soon spread to other centers throughout the then British colony of Nigeria. These ephemeral publications circulated widely throughout the busy marketplace, and writers intended them to be both educating and entertaining for the common people.
