Plate Of Memory

The African intellectual circle of the 1960s widely
explored the effects of colonialism, oppression and
religious subjugation.
Colonialism brought numerous ills on the indigenous people, forever altering the social, cultural, political and religious ways of life of Africans. The processes of colonialism and subjugation have been well documented in various narratives using different mediums.
The power of poetry to document the effects of colonialism, Apartheid and many other atrocities
committed against the indigenous people of continent is one that can't be overemphasized.
This poem captures the darkness of the colonial era.
