When African countries gained independence, most African political leaders turned their back to their populations, and African male witers changed their topicality to political disillusionment. African female writers, included Buchi Emecheta, could no longer identify themselves with men’s writngs and started denouncing the hard linving conditions of women, hence The Joys of Motherhood (1979). After gender preoccupations, Emecheta publishes The New Tribe (2000) to address self-discovery. This article displays how Buchi Emecheta has shifted from “gender preoccupations” by castigating the irresponsible and incompetent fathers of family who do not take care of their wives and children to “universality”.

Gender Preoccupations and Self-Discovery in Buchi Emecheta’s The Joys of Motherhood (1979) and The New Tribe (2000).
