Thinking Negofeminism in Translation: Interview with Tomi Adeaga

Abstract

Tomi Adeaga [T. A.] Over the years, I have found out and have been quite critical of the way African feminine literature is being translated into German for example. African women are often portrayed in Western media including the German media as underdeveloped, helpless women suffering under patriarchal yoke. This perception along with the xenophobic approach to the African continent has also affected the way African and African diaspora feminist authors’ books are translated into German.
