Analisi della rivisitazione del mito di Medea da parte della drammaturga camerunese Werewere Liking, nel quadro degli studi postcoloniali che, dalla fine del '900, hanno registrato un interesse crescente per l'acquisizione al canone letterario occidentale di numerose riscritture, secondo prospettive eterogenee, di opere classiche del patrimonio culturale europeo. La lettura di Liking mette in rilievo soprattutto le pene della straniera emarginata e dell'essere dilaniato fra la condizione di donna, di madre e la sua vocazione di sacerdotessa.
