Article Abstract:

The book 'Drawn from African Dwellings' by Jean Paul Bourdier and Trinh T. Minh-ha challenges the old concept that traditional African houses are static artifacts. Kathryn Firmin-Sellers' book 'The Transformation of Property Rights in the Gold Coast' deals with African anthropology and neoclassical economics. The book 'Black Men Speaking' by Charles Johnson and John McCluskey provides insights to the lives and times of all black men. Obioma Nnaemeka's 'The Politics of Mothering' is a study of African literature, while his other book 'Sisterhood, Feminisms, and Power: From Africa to the Diaspora' is about African women issues.
