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 poscolonial criticism of the field, it
also aims to trigger a genuine dialogue between Francophone and
Anglophone scholars of postcolonialism. Part one provides a
historical overview, from the 18th to the 20th century, addressing
issues of colonialism, slavery and exoticism. Part two looks at
language issues and discusses France's belief in the universality
of its language and culture and the postcolonial challenges to that
view. Part three discusses issues of diversity and multiculturalism
in contemporary Francophone cultures. Part four concludes with an
analysis of the French language contribution to postcolonialism as
well as an examination of Francophone postcolonial thought and
culture in the principal areas of the French-speaking world.
