The time period of 1990-2010 marks a significant moment in Spanish
literary publishing that emphasized a new focus on Africa and
African voices and signaled the beginning of a publishing boom of
Hispano-African authors and themes. Africa in the Contemporary
Spanish Novel, 1990-2010 analyzes the strategies that Spanish and
Hispano-African authors employ when writing about Africa in the
contemporary Spanish novel. Focusing on the former Spanish colonial
territories of Morocco, Western Sahara, and Equatorial Guinea,
Mahan L. Ellison analyzes the post-colonial literary discourse
about these regions at the turn of the twenty-first century. He
examines the new ways of conceptualizing Africa that depart from an
Orientalist framework as advanced by novelists such as Lorenzo
Silva, Concha Lopez Sarasua, Ramon Mayrata, and others. Throughout,
Ellison also places the novels within their historical context,
specifically engaging with the theoretical ideas of Edward Said's
Orientalism (1978), to determine to what extent his analysis of
Orientalist discourse still holds value for a study of the Spanish
novel of thirty years later.
