African Women Narrating Identity: Local and Global Journeys of the Self

This book examines the complexities of women’s lives in Africa, Europe and North America through the literary works of key African women writers. Unlike existing works on this topic, this book uncovers the transformation from postcolonial themes of nationhood to global modalities of post-independence writing through the lens of gender.
