Professor Chinweizu is a Nigerian critic, poet and journalist. He was born in Isuikwuato, Imo State and was educated at the Government College, Afikpo. He later attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for collegiate education.

While studying in America, during the civil rights era, Chinweizu became influenced by the philosophy of a black arts movement. After his collegiate education, he started teaching overseas, at MIT and San Jose State University. In a few years he returned to Nigeria, working as a columnist for various newspapers in the country and also creating a visible platform to promote a Pan African consciousness. In Nigeria, he became a literary critic, attacking what he saw as the elitism of some Nigerian authors, particularly Wole Soyinka.
