Dr. Abba Abba is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and Literary Studies at Federal University Lokoja, Nigeria. His research focuses on Biafran identity, postcolonial literature, and archival studies, with a particular emphasis on the Nigeria-Biafra War. Collaborating with the University of Reading, his work interrogates excluded voices in Biafran discourse and employs archival materials to challenge dominant narratives. His scholarship spans African humanities, resistance studies, and ecopoetics, with notable analyses of works by Chimamanda Adichie, Albert Camus, and Nigerian poets like Christopher Okigbo.
Research interests include the intersection of literature, history, and cultural memory. His publications explore themes such as tragic heroism, eco-alienation in the Niger Delta, and the demarginalization of indigenous African spirituality. While based at Federal University Lokoja, his global academic collaborations reflect a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship.
Key contributions include reinterpreting Camus’ The Plague through tragic defiance and examining Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun as a narrative of postwar reconciliation. His work bridges archival research, textual criticism, and literary computing to address unresolved historical traumas and cultural divides.
