Legacies of Passed African Women Writers: Matrix of Creativity and
Power proffers varied perspectives of the invaluable contributions
of ten deceased African writers from all across Africa who have
cleared the path to a vibrant African feminist arena. The dynamics
of change gleaned from both their textual and contextual concerns
unarguably set the pace for contemporary African women writers who
have striven to follow in the footsteps of their literary mothers
as well as their oral foremothers. This book, edited by Helen
Chukwuma and Chioma Carol Opara, shows the collective testament of
ample creativity and power generated by these departed heroes:
Flora Nwapa, Mariama Ba, Grace Ogot, Zulu Sofola, Bessie Head,
Buchi Emecheta, Nawal El Saadawi, Assia Djebar, Yvonne Vera, and
Nadine Gordimer. These chapters revolve around the positive impact
of the celebrated writers on creative writing, theoretical
formulations, and socio-cultural change. The contributors argue
that these corpus of works have illuminated creativity rooted in
power, vision, and freedom.
