| dc.description.abstract | This paper looks at how Kasena women from Northern Ghana take advantage of a socially sanctioned medium, the joking relationship that exists between an individual and her spouse’s siblings, to subvert and contradict Kasem proverbs in an effort to transcend the misogynist images and connotations of these proverbs as well as to critique patriarchal norms. | en_US |
