This book is a multi-genre collection of critical essays, reviews, interviews, and heartfelt
\nreflections on the life and work of the academic and creative writer, Dr. Adedoyin Aguoru, of the
\nUniversity of Ibadan, Nigeria. Aguoru\u2019s remarkable profile is defined by her transnational and
\ntranscontinental scholarship across theatrical, biographical and gender studies. The conversation
\non contemporary comparative transnational studies which amongst other things re-ignited
\nJapanese studies in Africa today is clearly sustained in this book. Overall, this volume is a
\nsymposium of established and fledgling scholars, mentors and mentees, university
\nadministrators, poets, literary critics, captains of industries, diplomats, and an array of personalities
\nrepresentative of Aguoru\u2019s circle of influence and network. This book brings them together in
\ncelebration of the golden birthday of a complex intellectual and humanist whose evolving career
\nis as intriguing as it is promising.<\/p>\n
