Using a postcolonial analytical framework, the book highlights the commonalities of African women's identities and experiences across national, ethnic, linguistic, and religious boundaries in Africa and in western settings. It collates the multi-regional narratives of key African women writers who convey how women's lives are shaped by social, economic, and political factors at home and abroad. It also illustrates the intersection of ethnicity, class, and gender that flows through all the texts examined. Unlike existing works that explore African women's fiction, this book uncovers the transformation from postcolonial themes of nationhood to global modalities of post-independence writing through the lens of gender. The book engages with feminist expression through broad themes including religion, war and ethnic conflict, women's status in society, tradition and modernity and local and global tensions. A unique approach to literary criticism of Anglophone African women's writing, this book will be of interest to scholars and students in the field of African Literature, African Studies, Women's Literature, Postcolonial Literature, Cultural and Ethnic Studies and Migration and Diaspora Studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Feminist Perspectives from the African Continent -- Introduction: Literary Herstories of African Women's Lives -- Radical Feminist Synergy and Sexual Exploitation in Nawal El Saadawi's Woman at Point Zero and God Dies by the Nile -- Caste, Class, and Women's Identity in Bessie Head's Maru -- Sisters of the Soil: Women's Resistance in Muthoni Likimani's Passbook Number F.47927 -- Postcolonial Disjunctures and Urban Spaces in Amma Darko's Faceless -- Voices from the Diaspora in African Women's Fiction -- Unveiling Women's Identities in the African Muslim Diaspora in Leila Aboulela's Translator and Minaret -- Ruptured Spaces of the Self in We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo -- Black Venus Dreams and the Migrant Body in Igiaba Scego's Adua -- Afropolitan Energies in the 21st Century: Immigrants, Dreamers, and Marginalized Others in Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie -- Conclusion: Narrating African Women's Lives in Africa and the Diaspora.. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a African fiction (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African fiction (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African fiction (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z Africa $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a African fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799780 650 7 $a African fiction (English) $x Women authors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799783 650 7 $a Women and literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177093 651 7 $a Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sackeyfio, Rose A. $t African women narrating identity $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003350200 $w (DLC) 2023006521 830 0 $a Routledge studies in African literature 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010948.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D3632410141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
