Uddrag
Title:
Already by the title of the poem, Kego Onyido has managed to make her readers feel some type of deep gut feeling.

“Stolen Home”. As a reader you are almost able to predict what the poem is about, especially compared to her other work, which is about the “old Africa” who the Europeans stole.

Already after the first couple of sentences, Kego Onyido manages to give us, readers, a perspective as to what we can expect from the text.

With a title as mysterious as “Stolen Home” the author is guaranteed to make the readers curious as to what is going to happen.

Settings:
The setting/scenery for this poem is that it takes place in Africa, specifically Lagos, Nigeria where Kego Onyido grew up.

Which makes the scenery for this particular poem an actual place, in the world. Although the scenery is easy to describe, thats not the same case when looking at the time.

As mentioned, Kego Onyido wrote this poem in 2010, whilst living in Canada. Although the written time is 2010, the told story is based on the past as well as the present time.

Throughout the text, she compares the past to present time. We don’t only experience this occurrence because of the way she changes her language when writing about the past as well as the present.

But it becomes clear because of all the changes we hear about, that have occurred throughout decades.

Speaker/voice:
The speaker in this particular poem is a voice. The poem is being told In 3 rd person, as there is no “I” anywhere in the text.

Even though there is no “I” telling the story we get this point of view in the authors many experiences of the situation.

Even though the poem is told in 3 rd person, the readers experience the occurrences as if you can see it for yourself, whilst reading the text.

The speaker, in this situation has a switching attitude as to what is getting written about. As the story jumps from past to present, so does the attitude of the author, which is clear in the text.

Themes and message:
Already with the powerful title of the poem, the reader of this poem is able to recognize the theme of the story.

The theme is not in any way hidden away in this particular poem but giving in a more direct way. Although the theme of the poem is very “direct” there is a hidden message engraved in the text.

The author, Kego Onyido wants to tell us/the readers of this poem a very important message about how her and many other African origins feel oppressed by the much bigger and wealthier countries

and how many Africans still to this day don’t forgive the Europeans for “destroying” their beautiful and peaceful style of life. Oppression is also the theme of the poem.
