This book evaluates selected contemporary Nigerian novels as literary reflection of the contesting orientations and interests. In doing this, the selected writers expose an incident of synergy of political and religious structures in the perpetuation of oppression, exploitation and antagonism. This situation is therefore a signification of relationship between contesting vested interests of the secular and religious elites and the power, socio-economic and cultural aspects of the Nigerian social formation. The findings reveal that spiritual enterprise and manipulation of religion are driven by vested socio-economic interests of political and religious elites. The findings also reveal that hegemony is causal factor of widespread poverty, power antagonism, social fragmentation, class conflicts as well as manipulation if religion. The study has found that contemporary Nigerian novels are such modernist texts which are not defined by linear plot in the sense that the stories of the selected novels are narrated in disjointed manner in order to depict social fragmentations in Nigeria.
