- W842989714 abstract "and the exigencies of forcibly controlling a subject population that was—thanks in part to these newspapers—increasingly restive. This contradiction is highlighted in Newell’s accounts of colonial legal action pursued against Nnamdi Azikiwe and I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson for newspaper articles published in the Gold Coast. But in colonial West Africa, anonymity and pseudonymity had dimensions not found in Europe. They meant resistance to the colonial obsession with eliminating the elasticity and mobility of West African naming practices. They also made possible continuities with African oral genres. Thus Newell explores, for example, how writers attributed praise-names to themselves and took on the role of the trickster that figures in so many West African folktales. Later chapters demonstrate how, just like African traditions of oral performance, folktales and pseudonymous autobiographical narratives mobilized newspaper audiences’ interpretive participation and invited the implementation of moral principles. The fifth chapter, on articles and stories written under female pseudonyms, shows how female pseudonymity itself as well as the issues raised in the writings engage critically with the colonial obsession to regulate gender and sexuality in ways completely foreign to precolonial norms. Throughout, Newell emphasizes anonymous and pseudonymous writers’ confidence in the absolute publicness and efficacy of their words, despite their own blurred identities. If in British West Africa “public opinion was regarded as a new type of discourse synonymous with newspaper writing” (43), then what Newell has illuminated is a utopic, nonhierarchical (though bourgeois) space for the formation of political and national consciousness at least as fecund as the European space two hundred years earlier that inspired Habermas’s work on the public sphere." @default.
