Abstract
In this essay, I begin by situating Burna Boy’s song “Monsters You Made” within a larger context of music as a rebellious form of resistance while connecting its significance with the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria. Then, I discuss anti-Blackness within colonial education in Nigeria, broadening the global conversation around BLM to include voices from the most populous Black nation in the world.
期刊介绍:
Comparative Education Review investigates education throughout the world and the social, economic, and political forces that shape it. Founded in 1957 to advance knowledge and teaching in comparative education studies, the Review has since established itself as the most reliable source for the analysis of the place of education in countries other than the United States.
