Space And Trauma In The Writings Of Aminatta Forna, Paperback / softback Book

Space And Trauma In The Writings Of Aminatta Forna Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

This is a critical study of her four works: a memoir, The Devil that Danced on the Water, and three novels, Ancestor Stones, The Memory of Love and The Hired Man.

This study makes the case that Forna's works delve into the historical and political landscapes of Sierra Leone and trace the growth and development of the nation from the pre-colonial to post-independence era.

Within this trajectory she engages the legacies of colonialism, post-independence betrayal and disillusionment, political instability, violence and oppression leading to the civil wars of the '90s.
