Description: Power to Name : A History of Anonymity in Colonial West Africa, Paperback by Newell, Stephanie, ISBN 0821420321, ISBN-13 9780821420324, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US From the late nineteenth century until the 1940s, African newspapers in British West Africa published an increasing amount of writings by local authors that were both literary and entertaining. But underneath the surface lay subtle criticism of the colonial power, often delivered by an anonymous author. Newell (English, U. of Sussex) closely examines this phenomenon and gives special attention to both female pseudonyms and real women writers. In preparing this work, Newell relied upon documents in the Public Records Office in London, the Rhodes House Library in Oxford, and the Nigerian National Archives. An appendix provides excerpts from the 1938 court transcript of political agitator . Wallace-Johnson. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
