Detailed information

The work is a study of selected novels by Black South African writers (1960-1984). The patriarchal nature of the society influences every facet of life in Africa. Male authors and critics dominate the literary field from the beginning. Thus roles of women are often glossed over in the study of literary texts. But prescriptive feminist studies encourages a focus on the contributions of women, which have largely been neglected in literary works of both male and female authors. It also encourages women to explore their experiences in creative writing. However, South African female writers do not write essentially about feminist issues because the Black man's oppression calls for an urgent response even on the part of writers. Women are critical players in the South African every day life; this fact plays out clearly in the exploration of the Black people's experiences in the creative works. Problem is the contributions of women to life in South Africa was mainly overlooked. This work fills the gap in the study of the Black South African novel. Women are shown to join hands with men to challenge Black peoples' oppression under apartheid.
