Ama Ata Aidoo’s Woman-Centred Pan- Africanism: A reading of selected works
This paper examines the pan-African perspective that informs Ama Ata Aidoo’s body of work. It situates the author’s work within the seemingly male-dominated pan-African discourse of the 1960s and beyond, by exploring her construction of a woman-centred pan-Africanism through the creation of strong female archetypes as well as her use of narratives that are both trans-national and trans-temporal. Further, it argues that Aidoo’s literary work constructs a pan-Africanism that privileges African women’s experiences.
