THE NATURE OF THE FUTURE: AN ECOCRITICAL MODEL

摘要

Sociopolitical philosophies such as feminism, postcolonialism, and envi-ronmentalism can interact with traditional African cultural practices in dynamic and complex ways. This paper employs Val Plumwood's eco-feminist deconstruction of dualism to analyze the relationship between traditional and modern culture in postcolonial African literature, with a focus on the practice of bride price as depicted in the 1974 play, The Challenge of Fende by Cameroonian author Victor Musinga.
