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.

The western wall of the interior is faced with niches, in which the
statues seem to emerge from a cloud of gloom. At one time tombs of the
most magnificent sort crowded the aisles, enshrining the relics of saints
and bishops, but during the raging of the Terror the Revolutionists
violated these tombs, seizing their treasures, breaking down with ax and
hammer their carvings. But, after all, the church of Notre Dame of Rheims
does not seem to have suffered very much loss from the clearing away of
these obstructions to the vista of her arcades, which now depend for their
solemn beauty upon the simplicity and dignity of their lines and
proportions, the effect of their windows, and the religious gloom which
lingers in their lofty recesses.
