In The Voice of Your Village, Sandra Hitarh offers a poignant reflection on nationhood and societal progress. Through the eyes of Babafusa, a central character that symbolizes broader struggles and triumphs, the collection calls for a sense of patriotism and collective action. Each poem contributes to a narrative that resonates deeply with the challenges of community building, identity, and national development, making it relatable across different contexts, particularly within developing nations.
The book emphasizes that patriotism is crucial in overcoming societal issues, urging readers—particularly the indigenes of the community—to reflect on the importance of their role in nation-building. Hitarh explores themes such as nationalism, personal struggles with depression, spiritual introspection, and the journey of finding belonging. The narrative, deeply rooted in the Nigerian context, also invites a global perspective, urging a renewed sense of pride, action, and reflection on the paths to a better society.
