Description: Contemporary Francophone African Writers and the Burden of Commitment by Patricia Celerier, Odile Cazenave Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Delineates the field of contemporary francophone African literature, providing the main outlines of directions taken in the past three decades. Publisher Description By looking at engage literature from the recent past, when the francophone African writer was implicitly seen as imparted with a mission, to the present, when such authors usually aspire to be acknowledged primarily for their work as writers, Contemporary Francophone African Writers and the Burden of Commitment addresses the currrent processes of canonization in contemporary francophone African literature. Odile Cazenave and Patricia Clrier argue that aesthetic as well as political issues are now at the forefront of debates about the African literary canon, as writers and critics increasingly acknowledge the ideology of form. Working across genres but focusing on the novel, the authors take up the question of renewed forms of commitment in this literature. Their selected writers range from Mongo Beti, Ousmane Sembne, and Aminata Sow Fall to Boubacar Boris Diop, Vronique Tadjo, Alain Mabanckou, and Lonora Miano, among others. Author Biography Odile Cazenave is visiting associate professor of francophone literature at MIT. Her publications include Afrique sur Seine, revue et corrigee: Le roman afro-parisien.
