Authors

Abstract
The issue of unity and integration among world communities is globally recognized in literature and orature. The spirit of unity that is vital for peaceful coexistence was contained and portrayed in literary revolution through organized competitions before and in the present day. Globalization refers to bringing the world communities together into smaller closer villages. Thus, this write up centers on global unity that has been reflected by some prominent Hausa prose authors who espoused the idea of “one nation one destiny” within the scope of stars combination, scenes or environments involved in their styles in the course of projecting their themes to their readers. This practice remained since the early sets of Hausa prose writing up to the historic Onitsha Market Literature in the 1970s to the present contemporary Kano Market Literature (Kasuwar Adabin Kano). The paper analyses how Hausa literary works bridged the gap of tribalism and nepotism in the so-called regional names leading to tribal forums such as ACF, Afenefere and Ohaneze Indigbo. The literature therefore considers peaceful coexistence and interaction between all tribes, at national level e.g. Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo etc. or at global level as Black or white Arab or Asian man in a given story. This paper considers this style very important especially in this time when the entire world is surrounded by different forms of violence.
