So Much Ideological Bankruptcy In Renaming Of Roads: Petina Gappah
18 July 2020
1/2 Interrupting my break to confirm that, SI 167 notwithstanding, my book ROTTEN ROW will continue to be called ROTTEN ROW and not “Abdel Gamal Nasser Road” Jokes aside,there is so much ideological backruptcy in this renaming, such patriarchal sterility.
2/2 No real recognition of contributions beyond war. Only a handful of roads named for women because the contributions of women are not valued. So many female firsts! Angeline Kamba, Stella Madzimbamuto, Dorothy Masuku. But oh no, they prefer foreign tyrants over local women.
