Contemporary African Literature in English explores the contours of representation in
this fascinating field. Drawing on works by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Aminatta
Forna,
Brian Chikwava,
NgugïwaThiong o,
Nuruddin Farah, Chris Abani and many more, this
study closes the gap between aesthetic and political notions of representation in
order to interrogate the role of the literary text in the circulation of a global image of
Africa. By questioning the demarcations of global and local, as identifications, the
book highlights the intersection between power, creativity and authority through
which the very category of African literature emerges. With chapters focusing on
the construction of racialized identities, gender and conflict, the re-inscription of
mythologies and strategies of address, the monograph address a broad range of
issues and questions which shape the way that Africa is performed on a global stage,
highlighting the contradictions and continuities of transnational literary production.
