This paper argues that discourses of love in Ghanaian market literature for youth offer a view into complex negotiations of agency and empowerment. Drawing on Deborah Durham's notion of youth as "social `shifters'" and Francis Nyamnjoh's conception of the "interconnectedness" of agency, I take Ghanaian market literature as one specific case of how African literature for youth foregrounds questions of continuity and change as African societies enter into increasingly complex global relations. In this literature for youth, received notions of love, often constructed out of impressions from American pop and hip hop music, carry new notions of agency that compete with existing "domesticated" forms. Authors like Ike Tandoh and Evelyn Tay employ discourses of love to offer youth alternative avenues for empowerment in a context of socio-economic disenfranchizement. In a creative process of "straddling", this writing both reveals and reproduces the contradictions that obtain in youth configurations of agency.

Verbitzsky was right. Nolenki, after being laughed nearly to death,
was sent to Siberia in disgrace, and we both worked in the same gang
with him for eight months before we escaped from the Ural Mines. No
doubt he is working there yet.

The following words from the closing sketch of this charming book are
representative of the spirit and style of the whole: "The moon is
shining in calm majesty. Her children, the stars, are laughing and
twinkling around her. Earth's children are sleeping, carousing and
suffering. I am writing in the moonlight. I am so glad we have lived
here--so happy that we have known all these good, heroic, sweet
characters. We need not read novels to find heroes. They are living
all around us. We are talking to them every day. They pass us on the
street, they sit by us in the church and hall. There is no historian
to write of them, only a book of remembrance in heaven, where all
their good deeds are recorded."

Smiles and tears alternate as the delicate humor and tender pathos
succeed each other through these delightful character sketches. We do
not hope for popularity for the book--we are _sure of it_.

LION, THE MASTIFF

=FROM LIFE=

By A. G. SAVIGNY

With Introduction by REV. PRINCIPAL CAVEN, D.D.

=CLOTH, 50 CENTS NET=

An ingenious and clever humane story in which "Lion" tells the
narrative of his life, to quote Principal Caven, "with more vivacity
than some famous men have exemplified in memoirs of themselves." It
should be in the hands of every boy and girl in Canada. The author has
woven into her story a great deal of useful information to guide us in
our treatment of dumb animals.

Transcriber's Notes:

Pg. 241: Respectacle is possibly a typo for respectable, or the
author's coined word combining respectable and spectacle.
(... cart was regarded in that district as peculiarly respectacle.)
