Description
Study Guide: The Breasts of the Sea by Syl Cheney-Coker is a detailed analysis of Syl Cheney-Coker’s poem, “The Breasts of the Sea.” The poem is one of the six African poems recommended for the harmonized Literature-in-English syllabus for senior secondary schools (2026-2030) in West Africa. The text will be used for WASSCE, NECOSSCE, and other equivalent O-Level exams within the timeframe.
“The Breasts of the Sea” reads like a non-verbal pondering on the human condition by which a whole century is blighted by series of war, colonialism, imperialism, environmental degradation, destitution and other painful experiences that undermine man’s abuse of intellectual and physical power.
“The Breasts of the Sea” is about the relationship between Europe and Africa in that both continents have experienced bloody phases in their histories. It also examines how Europe’s abuse of Africa has intertwined with Africa’s abuse of her own self to show power and freedom are too much with man.
