"In an exploration of the work of five writers from lands formerly or currently ruled by France - Algeria, Cambodia, Guiana, Madagascar, and Mali - Serrano demonstrates the rewards of research that engages in textual analysis within its historical and literary contexts. He deftly argues against the relevance of a homogenizing critical practice - considering these writers postcolonial, he claims, is to misunderstand their aesthetic strategies for survival in the face of French colonialism and modernism. Scholars of Francophone literature, Postcolonial Studies, and world literature will relish Serrano's lively invitation to debate and masterful analysis of five brilliant artists."--Jacket.
