Gender, folklore and cultural dialectics in African literature

"This festschrift is a collection of forty-five research papers and three poems that interrogate diverse areas of folklore and oral literature, gender, culture, African literature and language which are the areas of specialization of the iconic Professor Asabe Kabir Usman. It is a celebration of her literary and critical works too, a ready addition to the diverse fields she represents and a call for more critical interrogation."--back cover.
