{"product_id":"books-just-before-dawn-by-koke-omotoso","title":"Just Before Dawn","description":"Kole Omotoso, one of Nigeria's major writers, is always provocative. His writing is informed by a passionate concern for society and politics in Nigeria. This major work is a blend of fact and fiction dramatizing the first one hundred years of Nigeria. Most of the characters and incidents inthe book are real; the narrative is conceived and written as a novel. The story covers riots, uprisings, private hopes and griefsand coup d'etats -a history marred by violence, with an outcome satisfactory to none. The book was received as a major contribution to African writing, in its innovative style, and was awarded Special Commendation in the Noma Award for Publishing in Africa in 1989, which described it as providing a more profound understanding than is available in conventional history books and novels.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671986823441,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789782460073.jpg?v=1781517982","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-just-before-dawn-by-koke-omotoso","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
