Nationalists and Nomads - Essays on Francophone African Literature and Culture

Summary

This text explores how African literature written in French can change the way one thinks about nationalism, colonialism and postcolonialism. Arguing against blanket advocacy of any one model, the author seeks a form of thought that can read and recognize the realities of identity and difference.
