Recenzii
Afropolitan Literature as World Literature brings together a series of essays that inscribe and extend the contested concept of Afropolitanism and the emerging disciplinary formation known as World Literature. By putting these discourses in conversation and identifying convergences and divergences, this book challenges us to think beyond the limits and limitations of the current critical axioms that have taken the foreground. James Hodapp's book opens a discursive space for critical thought and reflexivity on the worldliness of literary Afropolitanism.
This collection of essays makes a valuable contribution to the discourse of Afropolitanism. Neither dismissive nor harshly critical of the term, the essays by established and younger scholars critically expand the notion of Afropolitanism to include different genres and spaces in the West and on the African continent. The essays argue for a more nuanced appreciation of the term and show how it can be useful to understand what an Afropolitan text might be beyond the usual novels and writers labeled as such. Individual essays introduce us to texts not readily in circulation in the West and in doing so help the reader understand the relationship between Afropolitan and world literature.
