The Third Generation of Nigeria Writers is an emerging phase of Nigerian literature, in which there is a major shift in both the method of publishing and the themes explored.[1][2] This set of writers are known for writing post-independence novels and poems.[a][3] This generation is believed to be influenced by the western world,[5] politics[6] and the preceding generation of Mbari Club writers,[7] Flora Nwapa and Buchi Emecheta.[8] The emergence of the third generation of Nigerian writers has changed the publishing sector with a resurgence of new publishing firms such as Kachifo Limited, Parrésia Publishers, Cassava Republic Press and Farafina Books.[9][10] These new writers create new genres and methods that deal with racism, class, abuse and violence.[11][12]
