I am not sure if the fight between Soyinka and Mazrui can be neatly bottled
into a christian vs. muslim paradigm as Ebrima seems to suggest. If one
wishes to understand fully the debate, I would think that the works of these
writers must be an integral part to one's analysis of the situation or as
Mr. Ceesay puts it, one's "interpretative journalism"!
Just wondering if Mr. Ceesay has read Soyinka's works? If so what is
christian about Soyinka's works? Does Soyinka's works not utilize a
traditional African religious (i.e. Yoruba) backdrop more so than a
christian one?
