The African Palimpsest: Indigenization of Language in the West African Europhone Novel. Second Enlarged Edition
ISBN: 9789042022249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Uniting a sense of the political dimensions of language appropriation with a serious, yet accessible linguistic terminology, The African Palimpsest examines the strategies of 'indigenization' whereby West African writers have made their literary English or French distinctively 'African'. Through the apt metaphor of the palimpsest - a surface that has been written on, written over, partially erased and written over again - the book examines such well-known West African writers as Achebe, Armah, Ekwensi, Kourouma, Okara, Saro-Wiwa, Soyinka and Tutuola as well as lesser-known writers from...

Between Rites and Rights: Excision in Women's Experiential Texts and Human Contexts
ISBN: 9780804756877 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the past five decades and over three generations, African women writers have introduced a new autobiographical discourse around their experience of excision that brings nuance to the Female Genital Mutilation debate. Spanning pharaonic times through classical antiquity to the onset of the twenty-first century, this unprecedented study shows how this experiential body of literature--encompassing English, Arabic, and French--goes far beyond such traditional topics as universalism and cultural relativism, by locating the female body as a site of liminality between European and African...

Fearful Symmetries: Essays and Testimonies Around Excision and Circumcision
ISBN: 9789042025721 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Often labelled 'rituals' or 'customs', male circumcision and female excision are also irreversible amputations of human genitalia, with disastrous and at times life-long consequences for both males and females. However, scholars and activists alike have been diffident about making a case for symmetry between these two practices. Fearful Symmetries investigates the sociological, medical, legal, and religious justifications for male circumcision and female excision while it points to various symmetries and asymmetries in their discursive representation in cultural anthropology, law, medicine,...

ISBN: 9781847010827 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Homosexuality was and still is thought to be quintessentially 'un-African'. Yet in this book Chantal Zabus examines the anthropological, cultural and literary representations of male and female same-sex desire in a pan-African context from the nineteenth century to the present. Reaching back to early colonial contacts between Europe and Africa, and covering a broad geographical spectrum, along a north-south axis from Mali to South Africa and an east-west axis from Senegal to Kenya, here is a comparative approach encompassing two colonial languages (English and French) and some African...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "Focusing its concern through the often-neglected role of literature in shaping and influencing these forces, this powerful collection of essays addresses the complex new ways that international power exercises control over all aspects of life-from new forms of public governance to the construction of private identities. The book acknowledges the emergence of new theoretical models of imperialism and empire, but it sets them firmly within the longer history of the analysis of the post colonial. It explores contemporary concerns such as global ecology, queer theory, and "the War on Terror" and...
