Certain Africanist discourse is preoccupied by the status of African thought, where Africa has been repeatedly construed as both unthinking and unthinkable. This highly original and groundbreaking book sets itself up against this tradition in readdressing questions of animism, hybridity and fetishism, in attending to a 'writing Africa': an Africa that reasserts and reinvents itself. The book marks in important contribution to colonial and postcolonial studies in its clarification of a particular Africanist discourse, and in its far-reaching analyses of the literature of animism. It will be of great critical interest to those working in philosophy, anthropology, literary and critical theory, politics and psychoanalysis. -- Résumé de l'éditeur Note de contenu : Introduction -- PART I: CLANDESINE ANTIGONES AND THE PRE-POST-COLONIAL: Ch. 1.

Diaspora & returns in fiction / Jane Bryce ; Helen Cousins ; Pauline Dodgson-Katiyo ; Ernest Nneji Emenyonu ; Patricia T. Emenyonu ; Obi Nwakanma

Public ISBD Titre : Diaspora & returns in fiction Titre original : Diaspora and returns in fiction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jane Bryce, Editeur scientifique ; Helen Cousins, Editeur scientifique ; Pauline Dodgson-Katiyo, Editeur scientifique ; Ernest Nneji Emenyonu (1939-....), Editeur scientifique ; Patricia T. Emenyonu, Editeur scientifique ; Obi Nwakanma, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Woodbridge - Suffolk [Royaume-Uni] : James Currey Année de publication : 2016 Collection : African literature today num. 34 Importance : xii, 255 pages Format : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84701-148-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Émigration et immigration en littérature ; Littérature africaine -- Histoire et critique ; Migration de retour en littérature Index. décimale : 809.896 Résumé : This special issue focuses on literary texts by African writers in which the protagonist returns to his/her "original" or ancestral "home" in Africa from other parts of the world. Ideas of return - intentional and actual - have been a consistent feature of the literature of Africa and the African diaspora: from Equiano's autobiography in 1789 to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 2013 novel Americanah. African literature has represented returnees in a range of locations and dislocations including having a sense of belonging, being alienated in a country they can no longer recognize, or experiencing a multiple sense of place. Contributors, writing on literature from the 1970s to the present, examine the extent to which the original place can be reclaimed with or without renegotiations of "home" Note de contenu : Editorial Article: Leaving Home/Returning Home: Migration & Contemporary African Literature / Helen Cousins and Pauline Dodgson-Katiyo -- Alienation & Disorientation in Ayi Kwei Armah's Fragments / Julia Udofia -- Wait No Longer?

In the name of the Mother / [James] Ngugi wa Thiong'o

Public ISBD Titre : In the name of the Mother : Reflections on writers and empire Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : [James] Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Auteur Editeur : Nairobi [Kenya] : East African Educational Publishers Année de publication : 2013 Autre Editeur : Woodbridge - Suffolk [Royaume-Uni] : James Currey Importance : x, 146 p.

His best known critical work is Decolonising the Mind, which since publication in 1986 has profoundly influenced other writers, critics, scholars and students. These latest essays reflect Ngugi's continuing interests and enthusiasms. His choice of writers is original. He makes us look again at their novels to address his lifelong concerns with the ways to independence, the meanings of colonialism and the takeover by neocolonialism, and the functions of literature in political as well as literary terms. They will appeal not only to his international band of supporters. They will also introduce his views to young people discovering African and Caribbean literature. (4e de la couv.)
