Taylor & Francis Francophone Postcolonial Studies

This landmark text in Francophone studies constitutes the first comprehensive overview of postcolonial issues in French studies. Moving away from reductive geographical or linguistic surveys of the Francophone world, this collection of original essays provides a thematic discussion of the complex historical, political and cultural links between France and its former colonies. Providing a theoretical framework for postcolonial criticism of the field, it also aims to trigger a genuine dialogue between Francophone and Anglophone scholars of postcolonialism.
