  aThe push for independence in African nations was ultimately an incomplete process, with the people often left to wrestle with a partial, imperfect legacy. Rather than settle for liberation in name alone, the people engaged in an ongoing struggle for meaningful freedom. Phyllis Taoua shows how the idea of freedom in Africa today evolved from this complex history. With a pan-African, interdisciplinary approach, she synthesizes the most significant issues into a clear, compelling narrative. Tracing the evolution of a conversation about freedom since the 1960s, she defines three types and shows how they are interdependent. Taoua investigates their importance in key areas of narrative interest: the intimate self, gender identity, the nation, global capital, and the spiritual realm. Allowing us to hear the voices of African artists and activists, this compelling study makes sense of their struggle and the broad importance of the idea of freedom in contemporary African culture. 7aHuman rightszAfrica.2BUEsh 7aHuman rights in literature.2BUEsh 7aHuman rights in motion pictures.2BUEsh 7aAfrican literaturey20th centuryxHistory and criticism.2BUEsh 7aMotion pictures, AfricanxHistory and criticism.2BUEsh 7aSelf-realizationzAfrica.2BUEsh 7aLiberty.2BUEsh 7aAfricaxSocial conditionsy20th century.2BUEsh 7aAfricaxSocial conditionsz21st century.2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcMarch2019  2ddc  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-03-25ePurchaseg539.00h526l0o323.096 TAOp000043282r2025-07-15 00:00:00v673.75yBB
