This stimulating and insightful book reveals how increased control over immigration has changed cultural and social production in theatre, literature, and even museum construction. Dominic Thomas's analysis unravels the complex cultural and political realities of long-standing mobility between Africa and Europe. Thomas questions the attempt to place strict limits on what it means to be French or European and offers a sense of what must happen to bring about a renewed sense of integration and global Frenchness.
This reference book surveys the richness of postcolonial African literature. The volume begins with an introductory essay on postcolonial criticism and African writing, then presents alphabetically arranged profiles of some 60 writers, including Chinua Achebe, Nadine Gordimer, Bessie Head, Doris Lessing, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Tahbar Ben Jelloun, among others. Each entry includes a brief biography, a discussion of major works and themes that appear in the author's writings, an overview of the critical response to the author's work, and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. These profiles are written by expert contributors and reflect many different perspectives. The volume concludes with a selected general bibliography of the most important critical works on postcolonial African literature.
Extrait : J’ai un chat, on l’appelle MINOU. Son pelage est orange, c’est un MINOU ROUX. Il prend soin de ses poils, c’est un DOUX MINOU ROUX. Il est tellement mignon qu’on le surnomme le CHOU DOUX MINOU ROUX. Il est plutôt fainéant. C’est un CHOU DOUX MINOU ROUX MOU. Les nuits de pleine lune, il se transforme. On l’appelle alors le CHOU DOUX MINOU ROUX GAROU MOU. Quand il me voit au milieu de mes peluches, il devient carrément CHOU DOUX MINOU ROUX GAROU MOU JALOUX. Notes particulières : 2 ans et plus
