(2015) POSTCOLONIAL FEMINISM IN ANTHILLS OF THE SAVANNAHhttps://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/3406Chinua Achebe's Anthills of the Savannah and Yvonne Vera's Nehanda, though separated by country, culture, style, topic and gender of the author, both deal in differing ways with the question of the restoration of women in postcolonial visions of Africa's past, present and future. Both novels present strong, central female characters who serve as sources of passion and inspiration, though Achebe's Beatrice and Vera's Nehanda are extremely different Although both author's are clearly interested in rethinking women's roles in their respective countries, their individual styles and histories suggest clearly delineated goals for their presentations . These differences raise numerous questions regarding intention, location, and successful interpretations of postcolonial feminist theory. They also frame their narratives in such a way that they begin to highlight the essential relationship between the postcolonial independence and gender equalityenPostcolonial, Feminism, Anthills, Savannah, gender.Article
