A modern day "Things Fall Apart", "The Amputated Memory" explores the ways in which an African woman's memory preserves, and strategically forgets, moments in her tumultuous past as well as the cultural past of her country, in the hopes of making a healthier future possible. Pinned between the political ambitions of her philandering father, the colonial and global influences of encroaching and exploitative governments, and the traditions of her Cameroon village, Halla Njoke recalls childhood traumas and reconstructs forgotten experiences to reclaim her sense of self. Winner of the NOMA Award - previous honorees include Mamphela Ramphele, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Ken Saro- Wiwa - "The Amputated Memory" was called by the NOMA jury "a truly remarkable achievement...a deeply felt presentation of the female condition in Africa; and a celebration of women as the country's memory."
