• Description based upon print version of record.
• Includes bibliographical references and index.
• Kenyan and Ugandan (women's) literature: the trouble with modernity -- Promise and fraud -- Historical modernities -- The dark sides of modernity -- Mapping global modernities -- "The state of tides" and the ethics of responsibility.
• For nearly a decade, writers' collectives such as Kwani Trust in Kenya and Femrite , the Ugandan women writers' association, have dramatically reshaped the East African literary scene. This text extends the purview of postcolonial literary studies by providing the long overdue critical inquiry that these writers so urgently deserve.
