- The 34-year-old Spaniard posted with some people in blackface in the photo he shared on his page

- But many football fans and some of his followers were livid and asked him to remove the photo

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has been slammed on social media by football fans after posting a photo of himself with some people in blackface.

The image Iniesta posted on his social media channel clearly shows two people in blackface as they attempted to dress up as a king that is traditionally black.

Iniesta was celebrating Feliz dias de Reyes which is a Christian tradition in Spain which commemorates the arrival of the three kings Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar at the birth of Jesus.

But many football fans were livid with the post and some asked him to delete it as others also accused the Spaniard of casual racism.

The 34-year-old who currently plays for Japanese club Vissel Kobe is yet to say a word to peoples' reactions on the photo he posted.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
