Assistant Professor
Apollo Amoko received his PhD in English Language and Literature from University of Michigan in 2002. He is currently working on a book entitled “The Problem with English Literature: Canonicity, Citizenship and the Idea of Africa,” examining the invention of African literature as an academic discipline and the idea of Africa as an aesthetic project.
His teaching and research interests are postcolonial theory and literatures (with specific emphasis on African literature), critical theory, cultural studies (race, gender and sexuality studies), ethnic literatures of Canada and the United States, and modern drama. He has published essays in such journals as Modern Drama, Callaloo, Mosaic, and Research in African Literatures.
