This is a study of the unofficial side of African fictionthe largely undocumented writing, publishing, and reading of pamphlets and paperbackswhich exists outside the grid of mass production.Stephanie Newell examines the popular fiction of Ghana produced since the 1930s, analyzing the distinctive ways in which narrative forms are borrowed and regenerated by authors and readers.Familiar narratives from local and international literary sources are endowed with new meanings and relevance, bearing little relation to the metropolitan centers in which the sources originated.The exploration of gender relations is a dominant theme in the novels through which the authors express, mediate, and often resolve commonly held preoccupations about marriage, manhood, and money.As well as filling a gap in Ghanas literary history, the book explores comparative crosscultural perspectives.
