Analysis of Robert Hayden’s (1913-1980) poems revealed the significant place history and symbolism occupied in his poems. The present study aimed to explore the historical elements and the pervasive sense of the past in Hayden’s Angle of Ascent (1975). Angle of Ascent showed Hayden’s interest in Afro-American history since he knew that it was misrepresented and distorted and hence it was imperative for him to correct the misconceptions surrounding it. Angle of Ascent also re-enacted the collaboration of Hayden’s character as a symbolist and an historian and emphasised the remarkable fertility of their union as the bipolar extremes of his unique poetic genius. Symbolism in Hayden’s poems allowed him to reinforce various meanings using symbols to show different meanings. Hayden’s poetry also made it clear that since the horrible actualities of life can realise their true meaning in the higher order of spirit, the transcendent realm should reveal a meaning to man as long as it is materialised in his own experience.

This paper examines cultural identity through proverbs especially, by comparing and contrasting proverbs in Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. Cultural background of the three regional languages in Nigeria will be explored by analysing verbal expressions in their respective native languages. Elements such as word choice, imagery and tone will be revealing factors of traditions, values, and cultural traits. The significance of this study lies in the fact that national identities can be better understood by the comparison and contrast of these popular expressions. It was discovered that proverbs bring out the uniqueness of a people and also teach tolerance, honesty, hard work and sense of self-worth among Nigerian people. It is recommended that the study of proverbs should be given prominence in the curriculum of studies for schools and universities in Nigeria because Proverbs can unite the country and make Nigeria a peaceful nation.

Racism involves the belief in racial differences, which acts as a justification for non- equal treatment of members of the race. The term is commonly used negatively and is usually associated with race – based prejudice. Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior or superior. In The Bluest Eye Toni Morrison, the novelist has created a racialized community. She has created a dualistic tale of the oppressors and the oppressed. The novel exposed or illustrates how the racism which exists within the African American community can be seen as an effect of the oppression and racism its members have been subjected to by the Whites and their protest against it.
