Women Writers in Francophone Africa (French Studies (Hardcover))

Nicki Hitchcott

4.9/5 (10737 ratings)

Description:In the rapidly growing field of African literature in French, writing by women has largely been ignored. Nicki Hitchcott, in this first comprehensive study of women's writing in francophone sub-Saharan Africa, redresses the critical imbalance and celebrates the originality of this fascinating new literature.Considering questions of genre and ideology, Hitchcott highlights the tension between the individualistic act of writing and the collective tradition of African society -- a tension that emerges as the key to each of the texts discussed. Focusing on four major authors -- Mariama Ba, Aminata Sow Fall, Werewere Liking, and Calixthe Beyala -- the book uses a feminist approach to consider the duality of the African woman, who is often torn between modernity and tradition. This duality, Hitchcott suggests, is reconfigured through fictional writings that provide a space for alternative female subjectivities to emerge.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
