Women's writing in Cameroon has so far been dominated by Francophone writers. The short stories in this collection represent the yearnings and vision of an Anglophone woman, who writes both as a Cameroonian and as a woman whose life has been shaped by the minority status her people occupy within the nation-state. The stories in Your Madness, Not Mine are about postcolonial Cameroon, but especially about Cameroonian women, who probe their day-to-day experiences of survival and empowerment as they deal with gender oppression: from patriarchal expectations to the malaise of maldevelopment, unem Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Although there are stories set in a rural village as well as in the city, both contexts are dealing with change. Juliana Makuchi's stories address AIDS, environmental exploitation, migration, domestic abuse and political corruption but the key focus is personal, and as the reader it is impossible to forget the individuals who are at the heart of this collection. Whilst the issues dealt with may make this seem overly serious (and it is tragic too: her description of someone in the last days of AIDS is heartbreaking), it is also humorous; from the observations of the customers at the village's only bar, to the grandma carefully negotiating the benefits of political support in an election year. We switch between pidgen, French and English in the text.
Highly recommended. ( )
