What are good secondary sources for a research paper on "Changes: A Love Story" by Ama Ata Aidoo?
By secondary source I assume you mean journal articles or literary criticism. I performed a quick search using EBSCO and received these results. The best way to build a list of secondary sources is to find a recent book or article and look up all the sources that the authors list. In that case most of the work is done for you. The key of course is to find the most recent article!
