Abstract
In recent years, the focus on public morals versus private practice has been a major concern of Hausa artists in investigating exactly what the private/ public division means for Hausa modernity. After a background on the emergence of these new forms of literature, I will look at the Hausa fi lm Albashi (Salary), directed by Abbas Sadiq and produced by Zainab Idris, as a representative contribution to exploring the anxieties about gender spaces in contemporary Northern Nigeria.
