Annual Bibliography of Commonwealth Literature 2007
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.

You can be strong; you will be strong so long as you control your
thought habits.

Life is beautiful, it's well worth while. Clouds will come, obstacles
will confront you, troubles will get in your way; but each and all of
these will disappear, if you keep on your way, with courage, smiles,
will power, and perseverance.

And from me and my loved ones to you and your loved ones here are all
good wishes, and encouragement, and sympathy, and love, all tied
together with this golden thought: let us help one another while we
sojourn here today, and as we do it--let us

LIVE
LAUGH and
LOVE

Thus endeth our Evening Round-Up.
