African Love Stories: An Anthology by Ama Ata Aidoo. Click here for the lowest price! Paperback, , Synopsis. This anthology is a collection of contemporary love stories by African women. The collection combines the tentative freshness of budding writers with the confidence of established and award winning authors from Africa and the African Diaspora. The collection is a radical departure from conventional anthologies and the theme of love is aimed at dedunking preconceived notions about African women as impoverished victims whilst showing their strength, complexity and diversity. Ama Ata Aidoo puts her own short story in her introduction to the anthology, giving this unconventional and surprising love story a deadpan tone in simple but effective language. Chimamanda Adichie comes with her own combination of everyday actions accompanied by deep reflection.
