Abstract
This work addresses the relevance and applicability of Western feminist theory to African literature. Psychoanalytical criticism and the works of French feminist theorists have met with great resistance because of the issue of appropriateness. Kenneth Harrow does not shy away from this difficulty. Rather, he confronts the question by methodically undoing the various objections stemming from misreadings of Lacan or of Freud and his Oedipus theories. The scope of this study goes beyond advocating the usefulness of an applied Lacan reading. It allows Harrow to redefine certain critical parameters.
