Marginal Bodies and Precarious Lives in North Africa: Homo Expendibilis presents an examination of North African literature situated at the crossroads of literary analysis, political philosophy, and sociology.

Figures de l'histoire et imaginaire au Cameroun
Qu'elle soit entendue comme conscience à l'oeuvre ou comme vécu, l'histoire n'est point, affirme Edouard Glissant, l'affaire des seuls historiens. Voilà qui explique qu'à partir d'angles disciplinaires variés, ce livre interroge les rapports souvent mâtinés de compréhension voire de complicité mais quelquefois aussi de conflits entre histoire et mémoire, mémoire et représentations, rapports qui s'écrivent au Cameroun, tantôt en continu tantôt en pointillés...
