The Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa brings together a
multidisciplinary team of international experts to reflect on the
history, politics, societies, and cultures of French-speaking parts
of Africa. Consisting of approximately 35% of Africa’s territory,
Francophone Africa is a shifting concept, with its roots in French
and Belgian colonial rule. This handbook develops and problematizes
the term, with thematic sections covering: French and Belgian
colonialism The Maghreb Francophone Africans in France Francophone
African Literature and Film International relations beyond
colonialism The chapters demonstrate the evolution of "Francophone
Africa" into a multi-dimensional construct, with both a material
and an imagined reality. Materially, it defines a regional
territorial space that coexists with other conceptualisations of
African space and borders. Conceptually, Francophone Africa
constitutes a shared linguistic and cultural space within which
collective memories are shared, not least through their connection
to the French imperial imagination. Overall, the Handbook
demonstrates that as global power structures and relations evolve,
African agency is increasingly assertive in shaping French-Africa
relations. Bringing this important debate together into a single
volume, this important Handbook will be an essential resource for
students and scholars interested in Francophone Africa.
