Description - Broadening The Horizon by Vincent Odamtten
This much-anticipated collection of essays from eight of some of the most respected academics in the field brings a number of critical perspectives to focus on the signal work of a 21st Century Ghanaian writer. Amma Darko is recognised in these interdisciplinary critiques, as a significant writer whose storytelling talent documents for generations of African and other readers, the continent's globalization pains. What is revealed in this collection is a complex writer, who knows how to tell a good story, yet is confident enough in her art to deliver a stinging and unflinching criticism of what Ghana has become as it, and its people, are evermore enmeshed in the web of global capitalism. The contributors critically situate the work of Amma Darko within the context of post-independence Ghanaian and continental writers, such as Ayi Kwei Armah, Ama Ato Aidoo, Mariama Ba, and Florence Nwapa. As a fitting and challenging voice in the arena of literary production, Amma Darko's novels have elicited sophisticated readings and represent a variety of ideological perspectives, and to some extent, divergent positions in feminist, deconstructive and postcolonial criticisms.
