Postcolonial theory has become one of the key issues of scholarly
debates worldwide; debates, so the author argues, which have become
rather sterile and are characterized by a repetitive reworking of
old hackneyed issues, focussing on cultural questions of language
and identity in particular. Gradually, a gulf has emerged between
Anglophone and Francophone thinking in this area. The author
investigates the causes for the apparent stagnation that has
overtaken much of the current debate and explores the particular
characteristics of French global strategy and cultural policy, as
well as the divergent responses to current debates on
globalization. Outlining in particular the contribution of thinkers
such as Cesaire, Senghor, Memmi, Sartre and Fanon to the worldwide
development of anti-imperialist ideas, she offers a critical
perspective on the ongoing difficulties of France's relationship
with its colonial and postcolonial 'Others' and suggests new lines
of thought that are currently emerging in the Francophone world,
which may have the capacity to take these debates.
