This study probes the aesthetic and political implications of that assertion by revisiting the history of African literature in post-war France. Extensive archival research is combined with literary analysis to investigate the destabilizing impact of decolonization on legitimate notions of language, authorship and literary value. Mapping connections between institutions such as Prs¦ence Africaine, ditions du Seuil, Gallimard and the Association des c¦rivains de la mer et de loutre-mer, the author argues that a contested and variegated African literary presence actively shaped the metropolitan publishing scene during this period of transition. In turn, the material aspects of book production and distribution are shown to be inextricably entangled with ongoing debates over the representation of Africa in words. Authors whose work is considered in detail include Abdoulaye Sadji, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Christine Garnier, Malick Fall, Chinua Achebe and Peter Abrahams. Publishing Africa in French uses an innovative interdisciplinary methodology to contribute fresh insights to current concerns in French studies, African studies, and postcolonial book history.$$c-- From publisher's website. 000927478 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000927478 650_0 $$aAfrican literature (French)$$xPublishing$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000927478 650_0 $$aAuthors, African$$xPublishing$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000927478 650_0 $$aAuthors, Black$$xPublishing$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000927478 650_0 $$aAuthors and publishers$$xPolitical aspects$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000927478 650_0 $$aPublishers and publishing$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000927478 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBush, Ruth.$$tPublishing Africa in French : literary institutions and decolonization 1945-1967.$$dLiverpool : Liverpool University Press, 2016$$w(OCoLC)ocn942901253$$w(DLC)19121968 000927478 830_0 $$aContemporary French and francophone cultures ;$$v37. 000927478 852__ $$bebk 000927478 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4616305$$zOnline Access 000927478 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:927478$$pGLOBAL_SET 000927478 980__ $$aEBOOK 000927478 980__ $$aBIB 000927478 982__ $$aEbook 000927478 983__ $$aOnline
