Black France: Colonialism, Immigration, and Transnational ism

摘要

In this innovative study Dominic Thomas builds on earlier major critical works published in the area of African studies and on his own Nation-Building, Propaganda, and Literature in Francophone Africa published in 2002, but shifts emphasis onto the dynamics governing the relationships between France and Africa. In doing so he embraces an interdisciplinary approach which he applies to the analysis of a variety of literary works published by francophone sub-Saharan writers, ranging from Ousmane Soce's Mirages de Paris (1937) to Fatou Diome's Le ventre de l'Atlantique (2003).
