In the late 1990's, Postcolonial Studies risked imploding as a
credible area of academic enquiry. Repeated anthologization and an
overemphasis on the English-language literatures led to sustained
critiques of the field and to an active search for alternative
approaches to the globalized and transnational formations of the
post-colonial world. In the early twenty-first century, however,
postcolonial began to reveal a new openness to its comparative
dimensions. French-language contributors to postcolonial debate
(such as Edouard Glissant and Abdelkebir Khatibi) have recently
risen to greater prominence in the English-speaking world, and
there have also appeared an increasing number of important critical
and theoretical texts on postcolonial issues, written by scholars
working principally on French-language material. It is to such a
context that this book responds. Acknowledging these shifts, this
volume provides an essential tool for students and scholars outside
French departments seeking a way into the study of Francophone
colonial postcolonial debates. At the same time, it supplies
scholars in French with a comprehensive overview of essential ideas
and key intellectuals in this area.
