Rebellion ![]() Rebellion is a play
of three acts written under the pseudonym of Ramatoulie Kinteh. It
describes the struggle of a young woman, Nysata, against retrograde
traditions in a patriarchal society : the fight for girls’ education,
the right to choose a husband, the establishment of a new parent-child
relationship, etc. Nysata ended up obtaining her father’s consent to
let her go to Great Britain to pursue medical studies. Interestingly,
Lady Jawara used quite frequently words in the local languages
especially mandinka, such as: daba-kruto, dundiko, fonto laro, fano etc. |
