Postcolonial Theory and Francophone Literary Studies cover

This collection brings together methods and insights taken from literary criticism, cultural studies, philosophy, theory, film studies, and linguistics to define new parameters of study for the emerging field of francophone postcolonial studies. While francophone writings share some characteristics indicative of postcolonial literatures in general, they also have their own unique set of characteristics, including issues of migration, stereotyping, continued relationships with France, and creolization.

This varied and thoughtfully compiled collection of essays... will provide a fruitful meeting point for all interested in the Maghreb, the Caribbean, Quebec, and France, as well as in migration, comparative, and feminist studies. - Mireille Rosello, Northwestern University
