by Stephanie Newell (Editor)
"This unique book brings together a wide variety of African academics and
other researchers to explore the links between literature, popular culture and
theories of gender. The first part looks at African gender theory. The book then
goes to on analyse women's writing, uncovering the ways in which different

interaction of sexual politics, polemics and popular culture, including
explorations of the gender dynamics of mask performance and oral story-telling.
This major analysis of gender in popular and postcolonial cultural production is
essential reading for students and academics in women's studies, cultural studies
and literature." Card catalog description
