Gender Theory in 'Anansi An De King Daughta' and 'Puss, Dog An Nancy' Peer Review
This article is very well written it clearly talk about how Anansi stories came to Jamaica and it’s lasting effects. What is commendable is the author’s ability to connect the themes identified to the story.

However, there are some changes that I would add. I would add more information to the background of the book. For example the published date could be added it could also have a brief summary of what the stories about. Also, the summary of Anansi story came later down in the article instead of in the background.

In addition, in order to give the reader a better understanding of the concept being spoken about in the article I would add the definition of a number of concepts such as feminism and folklore. In addition to this I would talk about the experiences of the slaves in the Caribbean and how storytelling was an escape for them.

The article also lack references For instance for this line “Feminism in Caribbean literature… or not even given a social voice at all.” which talks about the lack of strong women in Jamaican folklore and women being seen as property there was no reference. A reference would further prove the editors point. There are many more claims like this made by the editor that has no citations. I would also add how Anansi adventure may be similar to the experience of slaves. Slaves at that time had to lie steal and cheat in order to survive in the society that they lives in. Mentioning this could show how much they used Anansi as a way to escape their reality. Also the dwindling of the importance of Anansi story and its impact on the “Jamaican personality” could be added. Hence, showing the connection of Anansi story to not only the Caribbean experience. There are also a number of grammatical error in the article. For instance, Anansi is spelt incorrectly in numerous different ways throughout the article.
