Ghanaian Popular Fiction: 'Thrilling Discoveries in Conjugal Life' & Other Tales

Stephanie Newell

4.9/5 (19322 ratings)

Description:This is a study of the 'unofficial' side of African fiction, the largely undocumented writing, publishing and reading of pamphlets and paperbacks, which exist outside the grid of mass-production.Stephanie Newell, through a detailed examination of the popular fiction of Ghana produced since the 1930s, analyses the distinctive ways in which narrative forms are borrowed, re-written and re-generated by authors and readers. Familiar narratives from local and international literary sources are endowed with new meanings and relevance, bearing little relation to the metropolitan 'centres' from which the sources originated.The exploration of gender relations is a dominant theme in the novels through which the authors express, mediate and often symbolically resolve commonly held preoccupations about marriage, manhood and money.As well as filling a gap in Ghana's literary history the book explores comparative cross-cultural perspectives, relating the work to other West African literatures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
