Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to explore how Nigerian oral traditions show up in Nigerian-Muslim immigrant women’s communities, specifically how they show up in different generations. This will be done by looking at the relationships between Nigerian mothers and daughters in relation to Nigerian oral tradition. The present study will explore the links between Nigerian oral traditions, womanism, and the lives of the Nigerian women in my community. This will be conducted by using an ethnographic research approach, where semi-structured interviews and field observations will be conducted. Another purpose of the present study is to demonstrate that Black oral traditions are a valid form of knowledge production by the exploration of Nigerian oral traditions in an academic setting. The present study will shed a spotlight on how my mom and other Nigerian mothers should be viewed as intellectuals. This will be done by exploring how Nigerian oral traditions that come from Nigerian mothers’ impact Nigerian daughters in different aspects of their lives.
