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.

"All these and the like, my assertions, with my many calumnies,
falsehoods, and sycophancies, petulantly, indecorously, and
mendaciously expressed against the magistracy, as well secular as
ecclesiastical, wherewith my writings on witchcraft abound, I hereby
expressly and deliberately condemn, recant, and reject, earnestly
beseeching pardon of God and my superiors, and faithfully promising
that henceforth I will not, either by word of mouth or by writing,
by myself or others, in any place where I shall happen to be, teach,
promulgate, or assert the same or any of them. If I shall do to the
contrary, I subject myself thenceforth and henceforth to the pains
of the law against relapsed heretics, recusants, seditious
misdemeanants, and convicts of _lese majeste_, to the pains of
libellous sycophants publicly convicted, and also to those enacted
against perjurers. I submit myself also to arbitrary correction at
the pleasure of the Archbishop of Treves, and of the other
magistrates under whom I shall happen to live, and who may be
certified of my relapse or violated undertaking, that they may
punish me according to my deserts, in name, fame, goods, and body.
In testimony of all which I have, with my proper hand, subscribed
this my recantation of the aforesaid articles, in presence of the
notary and witnesses."

"(Signed,) Cornelius Loseus Gallidius."
