A 21st-Century Global Context

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book re-reads the last sixty years of Anglophone African women's writing from a transnational and trans-historical feminist perspective, rather than postcolonial, from which these texts have been traditionally interpreted. It will be of interest to students and researchers of African literature, but also feminist literary scholars.
