  • "Africa Wo/Man Palava offers the first close look at eight Nigerian women writers and a new vernacular theory based on their work. Flora Nwapa, Adaora Lily Ulasi, Buchi Emecheta, Funmilayo Fakunle, Ifeoma Okoye, Zaynab Alkali, Eno Obong, and Simi Bedford are the writers Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi considers. African womanism, an emerging model of female discourse emphasizing motherhood, is at the heart of their writing. In their work, female resistance shifts from the idea of palava, or trouble, to consensus, compromise, complementarity, and cooperation; it tackles sexism, totalitarianism, and ethnic prejudice."
