Abstract:

Buchi Emecheta, an author originally from Nigeria, stands out as one of the most prominent female writers to have emerged from postcolonial Africa. Her work is renowned for its compelling depictions of women’s oppression and the conflicts arising from differing cultural values in contemporary Africa. Her well-known novel, such as The Joys of Motherhood, throws light on the injustice of traditional African social customs that oppress women, relegating them to a life of childbearing, servitude, and victimization. Emecheta is frequently acknowledged as a feminist author who highlights the signifi

Abstract:

Feminism is a collection of movements which struggles for women's rights. Focusing on gender as a basis of women's sexual oppression, feminist scholarship attempts to establish equal rights for women politically, economically, socially, personally, etc. The Joys of Motherhood highlights Buchi Emecheta's critical view toward colonialism and racism affecting Third world women's lives. Besides this, Emecheta goes further to display African women's invisibility and marginalization-which were out of sight for a long time-in terms of some aspects of Western feminist discourse. Her creative discourse

Abstract:

This paper focuses on Buchi Emecheta’s depiction of the female character in her novel, The Joys of Motherhood. In particular, this paper examines how Emecheta directs attention at restoring the image of the “fallen” woman in the novel where the patriarchs dominate affairs. The novel achieves this aim through the narrative technique employed in the complex role of the woman figure who defiles all odds to achieve her heart desires at the end of the story. The findings reveal that Emecheta presents both positive and negative archetypal images of the African woman in the novel. It is however worth

The media have in the past weeks been awash with the sudden demise of a great female writer, activist and publisher—Buchi Emecheta—on 25 January 2017 in London.

And now another fatal blow has been dealt on the literary sphere at the dawn of a brand new year.

Abstract:

Facing patriarchal African societies where men were empowered at the expense of women, the main concern of African female writers of the first and second generations has chiefly been the restoration of the social condition of the African woman. The male-oriented perspectives in African male writings did not align with African women writers’. So as a response, these female writers started coming up with a new type of female characters whose stories are woven from their own experience and milieu. One of those novels is Emecheta’s Kehinde (1994) where the heroine, after living in London for eight

Using a close textual analysis on the content of Emecheta’s Kehinde, from the perspective of the Hero’s Journey (Campbell, 1968), the researchers bring to bear the heroic capabilities of females.

The Bride Price is one of the most influential modern novels authored by Buchi Emecheta through which the voice of a female character is expressed. The study has two points of discussion: the first deals with patriarchal society in which women suffer and become the only victims, and the second does with African culture from which Emecheta criticizes severely. Men have all the powers in controlling the whole family. The traditional society of Africa follows their culture as it is especially in paying the bride from the groom’s family.

Abstract:

Buchi Emecheta’s novel The Bride Price is examined for its overall literary strength, and particularly for its use of syncretism. Her work is compared with that of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, and it is concluded that both writers assist us in understanding today’s African diaspora. In addition, it is argued that several key passages in Bride Price are resonant for their extensive use of metonymy, and that Emecheta’s writing exhibits strong strands of the postcolonial, including the trope that the female body can be the site of multiple instantiations of hegemony and dominance.

The fight for autonomy, identity and self-definition is portrayed by African female authors. By creating new subjectivities that specify their positionality inside the metropole, writers transcend restricted patriarchal and hegemonic contexts. Buchi Emecheta writes about her encounters with the diaspora and the complex oppressive systems that impede her from achieving her goals. These systems include racism, class

Abstract:

Motherhood as an institution peculiar to women has always been reflected in diverse forms in Nigerian fiction. Whereas many authors venerate motherhood as the peak of feminine and familial achievements, some, like Buchi Emecheta, vilify it for the attendant ills experienced by women who are enmeshed in it. This paper examines Buchi Emecheta’s deconstruction of motherhood in The Joys of Motherhood with a focus on the possibility of motherhood leading ultimately to alienation. Using the theory of womanism, an African variant of feminism which exults the peculiarities of African women and their c

Abstract:

This paper examines mothers’ perceptions, challenges the institution of marriage’s blessings, and primarily focuses on the complexity of the mother. The goal is to investigate, from a feminist perspective, whether or if the “motherhood” body can eventually grant women the authority to be recognized in important spheres of human activity. The topic of motherhood has been explored by numerous African writers. The term “motherism” was created by Catherine Obianuju Acholunu as a counter to Western feminism. The Joys of Motherhood,1979 written by Buchi Emecheta explores how motherhood in Ibo societ

Abstract:

Abstract This article explores some of the ways in which women writers represent conception, gestation, abortion and delivery, at times by imagining motherhood in terms of scarcity, war or defeat. Drawing upon on the work of philosophers like Hannah Arendt, Adriana Cavarero and Lisa Guenther as well as research into biology, obstetrics and dental science, I analyse how the writings of Isabella Whitney, Edith Wharton, Margery Kempe and Buchi Emecheta often supply strategies for survival and reproduction in terms of transforming the meaning of motherhood and occasionally refusing new life.
