What are Hausa Novels?
Defining Hausa novels might be a little problematic in that there are conflicting definitions from different scholars and critics of no mean repute.
To some critics, Hausa Novels are fictional prose narratives written in language. This definition places priority on the importance of language as the core determinant of that regional prose work.
Some define it as a novel written by authors, whether in Hausa or any other language code. These scholars emphasize the importance of the novelists’ origin without being mindful of the fact that one can write Hausa effectively without being of Hausa origin.
To some, the Hausa novel is a corpus of prose narratives that depict the life, belief system, values, culture, religion, and political cum economic landscape of the Hausa community.
Whatever your opinion might be, it is cool to bank on the consciousness that Hausa novels are regional novels written by Hausa writers for Hausa readers.
