*This critical study investigates the complex narrative structure and socio-political themes within Kofi Awoonor’s novel, This Earth, My Brother..., to determine how the text reflects the post-independence disillusionment of Ghana.* The authors, H. L. B. Moody and Yolande Cantu, utilize their expertise in literary analysis to dissect Awoonor’s blend of prose and poetry. They provide a structured framework that situates the novel within the broader context of African literature, examining the protagonist’s internal struggle against the backdrop of a decaying national landscape.

The framing suggests a pedagogical approach designed for students and scholars seeking a structured entry point into Awoonor’s dense, experimental prose. The inclusion of classroom materials indicates that the text functions primarily as a functional guide for academic study rather than a purely theoretical monograph.
