Dialogue and Legal Justice as Panaceas to the Oil Crises in the Niger Delta: Chimeka Garricks Tomorrow Died Yesterday
Abstract
This work investigates the Niger Delta crises especially the novelistic representations of the author, Chimeka Garricks to wit: environmental injustice, social injustice, environmental degradation, and ecological devastation. Using the frameworks of Ecocriticism by Cheryll Glotfelty and Ecological Imperialism by Alfred Crosby, the work tries to examine how the people of the Niger Delta have been subjected to a myriad of inhuman conditions and how they have tried to resist these conditions. Owing to the futility of the several strands of resistance from these individuals, the need for resort to dialogue and legal justice has, therefore become relevant to the people, as only that can ensure a more peaceful and sustainable society where the benefits would be equitably shared to match with the burdens.
