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.

Grace Harlowe\'s Overland Riders in the Great North Woods

J >> Jessie Graham Flower >> Grace Harlowe\'s Overland Riders in the Great North Woods




All that winter the big circular saws in the mill far down on the Little
Big Branch sang their way through millions of feet of huge logs, cutting
them into lumber, and piling up profits for the firm of Wingate & Gray,
while the jacks toiled and abused each other, and all bosses--especially
their own--and fought with the jacks from rival lumber camps until the
end of the season. Each man then received a cash bonus that brought from
him a gasp of amazement and a growl of appreciation. Willy Horse and
most of the "original" party of jacks were kept at work on the section
all during the next summer, again to resume lumbering operations in the
early fall.

The further adventures of the Overland Riders will be related in a
following volume, entitled "Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders in the High
Sierras," the story of an eventful summer's outing. The hold-up of the
Red Limited, the capture of an Overlander, strange adventures in the
Crazy Lake section, the bowling game above the clouds, the battle with
the mountain bandits, and the solving of the mystery of Aerial Lake,
make a story of unexcelled interest and swift action.
