OverviewThe contemporary African family is in deep crisis, caught between the persistence of tradition and the upheavals of modernity. Nigerian writer Ayobami Adebayo's novel Stay with Me vividly illustrates this tension through the fate of Yejide, a young woman confronted with infertility, polygamy and the overwhelming weight of the extended family in her life as a couple. This sociopoetic study by Alain Bienvenu Atouba Edjeba analyzes the way in which the work portrays the fragility of the family institution in Nigeria between 1980 and 2000. She reveals how Yejide's voice translates the social contradictions of women's oppression by their families and in-laws, patriarchal domination and asymmetrical power conflicts within the couple. By questioning the unspoken consequences of sterility in a couple and the illusion of polygamy as a solution, this study highlights the resilience of women and the struggle they wage for their dignity in the face of the social crises facing their peoples. This book is aimed at researchers, students and passionate readers of African literature, especially African feminist literature.
