Writing Spatiality in West Africa – Colonial Legacies in the Anglophone/Francophone Novel: African Articulations
Autor Madhu Krishnanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2022
In this book, Madhu Krishnan examines the ways in which the anxieties and conflicts engendered by these phenomena are registered in a broad set of literarytexts from British and French West Africa. By placing these novels in dialogue with a range of archival material such as territorial planning documents, legislative papers, records of liberation movements and development projects, this book reveals the submerged articulations between spatial planning and literary expression, generating new readings of canonical West African texts as well as analyses of otherwise under-researched material.
