Coundouriotis argues that this genre, aimed more specifically at African readers than the continent's better-known bildungsroman tradition, nevertheless makes an important intervention in global understandings of human rights.The African war novel lies at the convergence of two sensibilities it encounters in European traditions: the naturalist aesthetic and the discourse of humanitarianism, whether in the form of sentimentalism or of human rights law. Both these sensibilities are present in culturally hybrid forms in the African war novel, reflecting its syncretism as a narrative practice engaged with the colonial and postcolonial history of the continent.The war novel, Coundouriotis argues, stakes claims to collective rights that contrast with the individualism of the bildungsroman tradition. The genre is a form of people's history that participates in a political struggle for the rights of the dispossessed. 001480658 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001480658 546__ $$aIn English. 001480658 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 03.
