Afropolitanism and the Novel

This book extends this debate, arguing that Africa’s ‘de-realization’ in global representation and the global economy is reflected in the African novel becoming dominated by Afropolitan, rather than African, aesthetics, styles and forms. It eplores the literary form and its social, philosophical, political and economic underpinnings.

Locul romanului ca forma literara in Africa este contestat. Originile sale coloniale si inabordabilitatea sa pentru majoritatea africanilor il fac sa se potriveasca prost pe continent, totusi a fost, de asemenea, esential pentru crearea majoritatii canoanelor literare nationale africane postcoloniale.
