One Man, One Matchet
One
Man, One Matchet was written by Nigerian author T.
M. Aluko and published in 1964 as the 11th
book in the Heinemann African Writers Series. The novel tells the story of a community in Western
Nigeria during the end of the colonial period and beginning of independence.
Set in a small community where the majority of the inhabitants are dependent on
the revenue from their cocoa
crops, the story looks at the role of the semi-literate Benjamin Benjamin in
the small community.
