520 1 $a"Literary representations of the body from Africa as well as narrative strategies of writing the body have only recently begun to receive wider critical attention. The reflections on body, sexuality, and gender in African literary texts brought together in this volume do not consider these three terms as separate entities but instead as closely related to each other, each term questioning the other: bodies and sexualities that are transgressing concepts of gender, gender that is probing body and sexuality. With regard to Africa, the three concepts form a particularly contested space, because body and sexuality are not only subjected to power relations in terms of gender, but also in terms of race, ethnicity, and the legacy of colonialism." "While the sections "Gifted Bodies" and "Queered Bodies" show new developments in viewing body and sexuality as creative powers, the sections "Tainted Bodies" and "Violated Bodies" comprise essays that investigate the exposure of the body to physical aggression and other traumatic experiences."--BOOK JACKET.
