This book offers a new approach to reading the cultural memory of
Africa in African American fiction from the post-Civil Rights era
and in Black British fiction emerging in the wake of Thatcherism.
The critical period between the decline of the Civil Rights
Movement and the dawn of the twenty-first century saw a deep
contrast in the distinctive narrative approaches displayed by
diverse African diaspora literatures in negotiating the crisis of
representing the past. Through a series of close readings of
literary fiction, this work examines how the cultural memory of
Africa is employed in diverse and specific negotiations of
narrative time, in order to engage and shape contemporary identity
and citizenship. By addressing the practice of "remembering"
Africa, the book argues for the signal importance of the African
diaspora's literary interventions, and locates new paradigms for
cultural identity in contemporary times.
