Bibliography. Topics-index. Title-index. Author-index. "The present book is a significant contribution in the area of African feminist criticism. The study is both textual and contextual involving a close reading of texts together with an analysis which takes into consideration the world with which it has a material relationship, historical, social, economic and political. Importantly, it deals with those literary texts which recreate the African woman's refusal to accept the secondary status introduced by the white coloniser and perpetuated by the black man. Resistance offered by African women to political and cultural subjugation by colonial and neo-colonial forces, forms the central thesis of the Twice Colonised." (jacket).
