Description:... In a powerful exploration of contemporary African scholars' efforts to re-chart and preserve the evolution of African thought on development, Kalu brings together various dominant perspectives on Africa's entry and participation in the international arena. Using African verbal arts to bring women into ongoing discussions about the search for feasible paradigms for African development, as well as world assumptions about Africa and African women, Kalu successfully elucidates the encounter between African and colonists' languages and narrative traditions.
