Description: Diplomatic Pounds & Other Stories by Ama Ata Aidoo Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Ama Ata Aidoo is an iconic African writer who has inspired generations of black and other women writers. Diplomatic Pounds & Other Stories brings together diverse themes that speak to the relationship between Africa and its diaspora in terms of home and exile and a sense of belonging and alienation. Publisher Description A celebration of Ama Ata Aidoos work presented as a festschrift with a broad spectrum of articles and personal memoirs from scholars and literary artists. It conveys the full extent of Aidoos place as a literary innovator and an exponent of radical social and cultural thought in Africa and internationally on account of its self-consciousness and gender equality. Included are a study, by playwright Femi Osofisan, of the Nigerian film industry and its impact on live theatre and negative images in contemporary Ghanaian music.
