Abstract

De invloed van het patriarchale denken en de opvattingen over gender op de ontwikkeling van de Afrikaanse literatuur is het ene luik van deze studie. Daarnaast wordt ook de inbreng van vrouwen in de Afrikaanse literatuur belicht. De auteur legt een vrouwelijke traditie in de Afrikaanse fictie bloot en besteedt aandacht aan het werk van Grace Ogot, Flora Nwapa, Buchi Emecheta en Mariama Bâ.

Abstract

This is the most important book on how female African novelists depict masculine archetypes, and how male characters are shaped through the gaze of a female author. Masculinity has been a buzzword of recent African gender scholarship, although very little work has been done in this area. Emerging studies have discussed how men are depicted in African culture, but this will be the first book length study of masculinity in Sub-Saharan African Literature by female authors. Less attention has been given to masculinity in literature, and this is the first book to discuss how female authors depict, and perhaps romanticize masculine archetypes they wish men would embody. Within the confines of traditional African culture, it is difficult for men to show compassionate or emotional sides of their character. These qualities are viewed as feminine, and thereby a sign of weakness. Yet these women writers all call into question the predominant stereotypes and behaviors associated with macho-masculinity. The emphasis in this study lies in how men are shaped in relation to their female counterparts, and viewed through the gaze of a female author.--

Abstract

In twintig essays wordt het geweld tegen vrouwen, dat aan bod komt in werken van schrijfsters zoals Adrienne Rich, Virginia Woolf, Rigoberta Menchú, en Nawal el Saadawi, geanalyseerd. Het lijvig boekwerk is ontstaan vanuit de Amerikaanse feministische, anti-oorlogs- en sociale gerechtigheidsbeweging. Het is een multidisciplinair werk dat bijdragen bevat met psychologische, antropologische, economische, medische en politiek-wetenschappelijke inslag. De teksten vormen een analyse van culturele en klasse-gebonden verschillen in de aard van het geweld dat vrouwen wereldwijd ondervinden.

Abstract

"This is a cogent analysis of the complexities of gender in the work of nine contemporary Anglophone and Francophone novelists. . . . offers illuminating interpretations of worthy writers . . . " --Multicultural Review"This book reaffirms Bessie Head's remark that books are a tool, in this case a tool that allows readers to understand better the rich lives and the condition of African women. Excellent notes and a rich bibliography." --Choice". . . a college-level analysis which will appeal to any interested in African studies and literature." --The BookwatchThis book applies gender as a category of analysis to the works of nine sub-Saharan women writers: Aidoo, Bá, Beyala, Dangarembga, Emecheta, Head, Liking, Tlali, and Zanga Tsogo. The author appropriates western feminist theories of gender in an African literary context, and in the process, she finds and names critical theory that is African, indigenous, self-determining, which she then melds with western feminist theory and comes out with an over-arching theory that enriches western, post-colonial and African critical perspectives.

Abstract

This collection is a study of African literature framed by the central, and multi-faceted, idea of 'mother' - motherland, mothertongue, motherwit, motherhood, mothering - looking at the paradoxical location of (m)other as both central and marginal.
