More about the book

Exploring the character Ndani, the book delves into her resistance against colonial and gender-based violence in Guinea-Bissau, a nation that gained independence in 1973. It examines the colonialist framework and highlights the role of African literature in amplifying marginalized voices. Through Ndani's actions and conscious narrative, the story showcases her (de)silencing strategies and passive resistance, where she undermines the oppressive customs imposed by colonizers and gender ideologies, ultimately positioning her as a protagonist in the fight against oppression.
