While on the surface, The Strong Breed might only seem a play about African rituals, it is more than that. The play represents the influence of rituals on the Nigerian society and their struggle to find their identity. To reach such conclusion, Wole Soyinka uses the theory of post-colonialism which perfectly suites the constituents of the play. The themes of The Strong Breed are presented through three contextual factors of post-colonialism, such as: discrimination, exile, and identity crises. Moreover, all the themes mentioned are related to the struggle colonised communities experience; the play contains various dimensions of postcolonial theory. Soyinka uses the contextual factors of postcolonial literature to comment on the false ideologies of the human beings. Therefore, this article examines the post-colonial thematic aspects in The Strong Breed through studying the concepts of otherness, hybridity, and resistance, and it explores the influence of the colonisation of minds on human beings.
