THE CULTURAL POETICS OF DESIRE OR THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE IN AYI KWEI ARMAH’S NOVELS

Summary/Abstract: The Cultural Poetics of Desire or the Feminine Principle in Ayi Kwei Armah’s Novels. Ayi. Kwei Armah (1939-) is a Ghanaian novelist who thinks that African individuals and communities, with no awareness of the diametrically opposed essences of Europe and Africa, remain doomed to experience loss and confusion. What feeds Africa's present cultural malaise, according to the writer, is the history of the continent's unconscious exposure to Greek perceptions of desire.
