It also underscores women authors’ relatively unknown or dispersed role and their positions regarding Western feminism. Concurrently, the book acknowledges the emergence of a current Generation called the Me-Generation, dealing with erstwhile taboo themes and genre experimentation. Three contemporary novels are singled out and analysed: \u003ci\u003eMy Sister, the Serial Killer\u003c\/i\u003e by Oyinkan Braithwaite, \u003ci\u003eA Small Silence\u003c\/i\u003e by Jumoke Verissimo and \u003ci\u003eFreshwater\u003c\/i\u003e by Akwaeke Emezi. They deal with the trope of blackness as humour and satire, as a healing space and as Igbo spiritual cosmovision, which contests Western givens. This book can become a reference for those interested in African literature and, particularly, Nigerian literature. Concurrently, it can be a starting point to enrich the debate on African literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226136301912,"sku":"9781032872957","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032872957_75d33f5f-1b80-4976-b195-564e0060933a.jpg?v=1768542332","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nigerian-authors-and-the-me-generation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
