This book proposes feminist empathy as a model of interpretation in
the works of contemporary Anglophone African women writers. The
African woman's body is often portrayed as having been disabled by
the patriarchal and sexist structures of society. Returning to
their bodies as a point of reference, rather than the postcolonial
ideology of empire, contemporaryAfrican women writers demand
fairness and equality. By showing how this literature deploys
imaginative shifts in perspective with women experiencing
unfairness, injustice, or oppression because of their gender,
Chielozona Eze argues that by considering feminist empathy,
discussions open up about how this literature directly addresses
the systems that put them in disadvantaged positions. This book,
therefore, engages a new ethical and human rights awareness in
African literary and cultural discourses, highlighting the openness
to reality that is compatible with African multi-ethnic,
multi-racial, and increasingly cosmopolitan communities.
