Abstract

This study explores the concept of liminality and transformation within the framework of Afrojujuism in My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Amos Tutuola. Afrojujuism-a fusion of African spiritual cosmologies, folklore, and surrealist aesthetics-shapes the novel's character development and narrative structure, blurring the boundaries between the physical and metaphysical worlds. Through an analysis of Tutuola's use of mythic tropes, supernatural encounters, and fluid identity transitions, this paper examines how liminality functions as a transformative force in the protagonist's journey. The research highlights how Afrojujuism informs the novel's fragmented, episodic storytelling, reflecting the fluid and nonlinear nature of African oral traditions. Ultimately, the study underscores how Tutuola's work challenges conventional narrative forms and enriches the literary exploration of identity, exile, and metamorphosis.
