Mixed marriages in Ba's <i>so long a letter</i> and <i>scarlet song</i>
Abstract
The importance of marriage cannot be over-emphasised. It is a crucial ingredient for the survival of man and woman, irrespective of race, religion, cultural and ethnic background. Love is the prerequisite for marriage in all cultures. This fact is negated in the marriage relationships described in Ba's two works. This paper examines mixed marriages in Mariama Ba's So Long a Letter and Scarlet Song and its impact on women. It also highlights the woman's predicament in general and the way forward for women in such plight.
