- Ethno-autobiographical poetry is a culturally constituted autobiographical poetry. Due to its subjectivity, it is regarded by critics as an unreliable construction of social history. Consequently, previous researches consider ethno-autobiographical poetry as essentially self-aggrandising, neglecting its form as a unique blend of both self and culture. Therefore, this study explored the cultural constitution of selected Nigerian migrant and travel literary ethno-autobiographical poetry, in terms of racism, ethos, and space, with a view to establishing its features as a source of social history. The diachronic perspective of the Genre Theory, which emphasises the historical and dynamic function and features of a genre, is adopted to conceptualise autobiography as ethno-autobiography. The historico-biographical method was used to explore how self and culture are constructed in four collections of purposively selected Nigerian migrant autobiographical poems: Tanure Ojaide‘s When it No Longer Matters Where You Live (No Longer Matters), Femi Oyebode‘s Master of the Leopard Hunt (Master), Olu Oguibe‘s Songs of Exile, Uche Nduka‘s The Bremen Poems, and two collections of poetic travelogues: Odia Ofeimun‘s London Letter and Other Poems (London Letter) and Remi Raji‘s Shuttlesongs: America (Shuttlesongs). The texts were subjected to critical textual analysis. Nigerian migrant and travel ethno-autobiographical poetry depicts an interplay of racism, ethos, and space in the authors‘ self construction. In Master, racism is portrayed in the persona‘s treatment as a racial ‗Other‘; ethos is depicted in the appropriation of Benin mythical art and ancestral beliefs as identity schema and for interrogating the episteme of Euro-American geo-space. Songs of Exile depicts racism in the persona‘s hybridity and identity crisis, but ethos in the conflict between his African imagination and Americans‘ individualistic lifestyle, which results from his encounter with the geo-cultural space of exile as a post-colonial subject. The Bremen Poems relates the persona‘s loneliness and vulnerability as a racial outsider, whereas ethos is depicted in his conflicting feelings of nostalgia for the homeland and love for the exilic space of Bremen as a city of refuge. In No Longer Matters, exile is associated with racial discrimination, individualism and deceptive glamour while the homeland is portrayed as oppressive and squalid resulting in the persona‘s conclusion that neither geo-space is conducive for self realisation. In London Letter, Lagos and London are depicted as racially and socially stratified and filthy; ethos is portrayed in the persona‘s queries of Nigerian emigrants‘ Eurocentric disposition and their flamboyant lifestyles as citizens and immigrants within the geo-cultural spaces of Lagos and London respectively. In Shuttlesongs, racism is portrayed in the historic slave trade and racial discrimination occluded by modern America‘s glamour while ethos is depicted in America‘s liberal democracy, human rights, and African American cultural values; the persona encountered these during visits to America‘s historic sites and geo-cultural spaces. The cultural constitution of selected Nigerian migrant and travel literary ethnoautobiographical poetry, in terms of racism, ethos, and space, is composed, respectively, of alterity, identity construction and epistemological orientation, and trans-spatiality. These features demonstrate ethno-autobiography‘s form as an expression of self and culture within the context of social history 1 results 1

- Perhaps, the nature of the political fluctuations that swept over Abbasid era which led to destruction and devastation of the cities has led to the emergence of the literary genre known as Rilhau-l-Madani”.i.e Civil Elegy in Arabic literature. Some scholars have given this genre of poetry other names like; poetry of calamities and disasters, sad poetry, as well as national poetry. This type of poetry is different from the well-known elegiac poetry of the pre-Islamic era. Elegy as one of the most basic themes of pre-Islamic poetry featured wailing about the dead, or the sound of speech coming out while weeping over the loss of the dead The pre-Islamic poets lamented the loss of their loved ones in wars, by mentioning their sterling qualities, attributes and high places with warm weeping over them, urging the tribe to take revenge, as it was recorded down between Al- Khansa in the threndy on her brother Sakhir and others. However, the civil elegy is a nascent of Abbasid era, even if its activities, characteristics and features have not developed as an independent literary genre till Andalusian era, which was occasioned by the nature of the political crises between the Christians and the Muslims. Civil elegy also has to do with lamentation that accompanied the fall of Islamic cities, the setbacks and defeats suffered by the Muslims in those countries, which led to vandalism, destruction, murder, expulsion and others. It is noteworthy to state succinctly that Nigeria is an Arabized Islamic country, whose people have been taking refuge in Arab and Islamic cultures for a long time, and they have succeeded in composing the verses and producing anthologies. Despite their linguistic affinities, familiarities, and intellectual prowess with Arabic poetry, themes and its branches of knowledge, the phenomenon of civil elegiac poetry has not featured in their poetry till twentieth and twenty-first centuries due to political unrest and religious extremism that led to the destruction, devastation, murder, destruction and expulsion of Nigerian citizens from their homes. Therefore, this research aims to study the phenomenon and trend of civil elegy in Nigerian Arabic poetry. Before delving into the point of discussion, the research will examine the concept of elegy and its characteristics throughout the Arab literary eras. Also, it will discuss the principles of civil elegy in the Arab literary heritage, its importance, characteristics, factors of its spread and its examples would be discussed. Likewise, the paper would explain the Position of civil elegiac poetry in Nigerian Arabic Poetry. 1 results 1
