- Description
- The last century has witnessed an upsurge in literature triggered by the feminist movement. This unprecedented event has transformed the various literary genres that are being deconstructed to suit the changing times. African literature has not been spared by the universalized world order. The paper attempts a re-analysis of gender inequality from the pre-colonial to post-colonial period from the lenses of literary narratives. Male writers like Chinua Achebe, Elechi Amadi, Wole Soyinka, Ngugi Wa Thiongo, and Cyprain Ekwensi in their literary mass are accused of condoning patriarchy, are deeply entrenched in a macho conviviality and a one dimensional and minimalised presentation of women who are demoted and assume peripheral roles. Their penchant to portray an androcentric narrative is at variance with the female gender that are trivialized through practices like patriarchy, tradition, culture, gender socialization process, marriage and domestic enslavement. The paper concludes with some contemporary showcases and meta-narratives by both male and female writers like Buchi Emecheta, Mariama Bâ, Ama Ata Aidoo, Flora Nwapa, Sembene Ousmane and Leopold Sedar Senghor who attempt to bridge the gender rifts in the African literary landscape.

- Description
- This paper draws on the extensive but mixed discussions around the concepts of globalization and liberalization with a view to exploring their linkages with gender inequality and economic growth in the specific context of developing countries of Africa. The equity considerations of globalization allows to link the touted macro impacts with micro impacts with respect to employment, income, food production and food security. These are expressed via household level responses in the process of agricultural commercialization and export led industrialization. Putting the expectations from liberalization and structural adjustment policies through the gender lens allows to deconstruct stylized facts about globalization impacts on developing countries' human development indicators especially poverty, food security and gender relations of production as well as on macroeconomic indicators such as income, employment, wages and so on. Empirical evidences that either support or deconstruct these stylized facts are presented to show the many facets of globalization on the lives of women and men in agrarian and semi-industrialized countries. The conclusion is that understanding and eradication of feminized poverty in sub-Sahara Africa must be based on a heterodox feminist, rather than a neoclassical analysis of not only the macro but also the micro dynamics of responses to globalization and liberalization policies.
