“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 Césaire, 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.
