Description
Violence tells the story of Idemudia and Adisa, a couple fighting to survive in the grinding poverty of Benin City. As exploitative employers and a corrupt elite grow rich, the working poor pay with their dignity, their health and their relationships. Iyayi shows how inequality itself is a form of violence – slow, systemic and relentless. Yet amid desperation and hardship, the novel finds hope in solidarity and collective resistance. A work of fierce political clarity and deep humanity, this is a landmark of African fiction and world literature.
