Hardccover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Clean and unmarked in full cloth binding. 346pp. Dust jacket has creasing to front flap, is offered now in a new mylar cover. The profound effects of colonialism and its legacies on African cultures have led postcolonial scholars of recent African… literature to characterize contemporary African novels as, first and foremost, responses to colonial domination by the West. In Africa Writes Back to Self, Evan Maina Mwangi argues instead that the novels are primarily engaged in conversation with each other, particularly over emergent gender issues such as the representation of homosexuality and the disenfranchisement of women by male-dominated governments. He covers the work of canonical novelists Nadine Gordimer, Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and J. M. Coetzee, as well as popular writers such as Grace Ogot, David Maillu, Promise Okekwe, and Rebeka Njau. Mwangi examines the novels' self-reflexive fictional strategies and their potential to refigure the dynamics of gender and sexuality in Africa and demote the West as the reference point for cultures of the Global South. Size: 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall.

hardcover. No Jacket. First Edition. Kent. 2017. July 2017. Kent State University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Hardcover. No Dustjacket as Issued. 9781606353219. 6. x 9¼. notes, biblio., index. Translation Studies - Brian J. Baer, Editor - Translation Studies focuses on current developments in translation studies an…d related disciplines, including terminology studies, lexicography, interpreting, translation- oriented text-linguistic studies, empirical research, and computer-assisted translation. The monographs and collective works that comprise this series cover topics that form the scholarly background of translation studies and place particular emphasis on the relationship between translation theory and translation practice. 320 pages. hardcover. keywords: Translation/African Literature. DESCRIPTION - Author Evan Maina Mwangi explores the intersection of translation, sexuality, and cosmopolitan ethics in African literature. Usually seen as the preserve of literature published by Euro-American metropolitan outlets for Western consumption, cultural translation is also a recurrent theme in postcolonial African texts produced primarily for local circulation and sometimes in African languages. Mwangi illustrates how such texts allude to various forms of translation to depict the ethical relations to foreigners and the powerless, including sexual minorities. He also explains the popularity of fluent models of translation in African literature, regardless of the energetic critique of such models by Western-based postcolonial theorists. While bringing to the foreground texts that have received little critical attention in African literary studies, Translation in African Contexts engages a wide range of foundational and postcolonial translation theorists. It considers a rich variety of works, including East African translations of Shakespeare, writings by Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Gakaara wa Wanjau, a popular novel by Charles Mangua, and a stage adaptation by the Tanzanian playwright Amandina Lihamba, among others. inventory #42110 Very Good in Hardcover. No Dustjacket as Issued.
