Having formed the basis for the justification of centuries of Euro-American socio-economic onslaughts, it has been identified as the appropriate tool for reversing the damages wreaked on Africa during these periods. This is mainly because the structure of the Euro-American hegemony in Africa was designed to alter and dictate African knowledge production systems and its application to African reality, in a bid to keep the continent perpetually reliant on the Global North. This is why the field of African Studies is and has always been instrumental in presenting the African narrative and enhancing its prospects. Despite their importance, the African perspectives continue to be marginalized or excluded in research, creating a problem of misrepresentation of the continent. It is to this that this book has responded-the urgent need to eliminate the vestiges of colonialism in the academy and research methodologies"--

"This book chronicles the rise and the development of postcolonial agency since Africa's encounter with Western modernity through African and African diaspora literature and film. Using African and African diasporic imaginaries (creative writings, autobiographies, polemical writings, and filmic media) the author shows how African subjects have resisted enslavement and colonial domination over the past centuries, and how they have sought to reshape "global modernity". Authors and film makers whose works are examined in detail include Olaudah Equiano, William Sheppard, Haile Gerima, Wole Soyinka, Dani Kouyaté, Chris Abani, Chimamanda Adichie, Leila Aboulela, Imbolo Mbue, Alain Mabanckou, Abdourahman Waberi, Marie NDiaye, and Fatou Diome. Providing a critical study of nativism, hybridity and post-hybrid conjunctive consciousness, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African and African diasporic literature, history, and cultural studies"--

    As postcolonial studies shifts to a more comparative approach one of the most intriguing developments has been within the Francophone world. A number of genealogical lines of influence are now being drawn connecting the work of the three figures most associated with the emergence of postcolonial theory – Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, and Gayatri Spivak – to an earlier generation of French (predominantly ‘poststructuralist’) theorists. Within this emerging narrative of intellectual influences, the importance of the thought of Jacques Derrida, and the status of deconstruction generally, has been acknowledged, but has not until now been adequately accounted for. In Deconstruction and the Postcolonial, Michael Syrotinski teases out the underlying conceptual tensions and theoretical stakes of what he terms a ‘deconstructive postcolonialism’, and argues that postcolonial studies stands to gain ground in terms of its political forcefulness and philosophical rigour by turning back to, and not away from, deconstruction

    "Postcolonial Hauntologies is an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of critical, literary, visual, and performance texts by women from different parts of Africa. While contemporary critical thought and feminist theory have largely integrated the sexual female body into their disciplines, colonial representations of African women's sexuality "haunt" contemporary postcolonial African scholarship which, by maintaining a culture of avoidance about women's sexuality, generates a discursive conscription that ultimately holds the female body hostage. Ayo A. Coly employs the concept of "hauntology" and "ghostly matters" to formulate an explicative framework in which to examine postcolonial silences surrounding the African female body as well as a theoretical framework for discerning the elusive and cautious presences of female sexuality in the texts of African women. In illuminating the pervasive silence about the sexual female body in postcolonial African scholarship, Postcolonial Hauntologies challenges hostile responses to critical and artistic voices that suggest the African female body represents sacred ideological-discursive ground on which one treads carefully, if at all. Coly demonstrates how "ghosts" from the colonial past are countered by discursive engagements with explicit representations of women's sexuality and bodies that emphasize African women's power and autonomy."-- "Postcolonial Hauntologies is an interdisciplinary analysis of critical, literary, visual, and performance texts by women from different parts of Africa.

    "AT PENPOINT aims to rewrite the story of postcolonial African literary and cultural production as one profoundly influenced by the Cold War. Monica Popescu shows how postcolonial studies of African literature have too often neglected the key institutional and aesthetic influence asserted by Soviet agents, and the resulting overlapping imperalisms African writers and creators worked within and contested during the second half of the twentieth century. Popescu's analysis attends to the myriad ways in which the tension between the United States and the USSR played out in the intellectual and aesthetic clashes among Third World intellectuals as well as on the battlefields of the proxy conflicts (specifically, the war in Angola) and experiments in African-style socialism that spread across the continent. Informed by several intellectual projects that have similarly brought postcolonial studies and the history of the Cold War together, Popescu traces a new cartography of cultural communication and meaning-making apart from a Western intellectual history and reinvigorates a leftist critique of imperialism too often occluded by postcolonial studies. Popescu uses her focus on the Cold War both to reassess familiar works from the era, such as Ayi Kwei Armah's The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born as well as to shine light on previously un- or under-studied publications made newly relevant, including Lotus, the journal of the Afro-Asian Writers' Alliance. The book is divided into two parts; the first providing the historical and theoretical framing for the latter's analysis. Chapter 2 in part I introduces Popescu's theory of "aesthetic world systems" in order to frame an alternative aesthetic system set up by the Soviet Union to sway intellectuals disenchanted with Western thought to align their work to the norms and aesthetic values of a Soviet ideology. Popescu illustrates this tension evident in African literature by analyzing both how African writers debated the definitions and functions of realism and modernism within Cold War parameters as well as how the aesthetic prerogatives of both the US and the USSR rendered entire corpuses of Third World texts illegible and invisible. The book's second part takes up more specific works of literature, expanding African literary history by rearticulating connections between texts and contexts.

    "Postcolonial studies, and the rich body of theory that it applies in its analyses, has transformed and unsettled the ways in which, across a whole range of disciplines, we think about notions such as subjectivity, national identity, globalization, history, language, literature or international politics. Until recently, the emphasis of the groundbreaking work being carried out in these areas has been almost exclusively within an Anglophone context, but increasingly the focus of postcolonial studies is shifting to a more comparative approach." "One of the most intriguing developments in this shift of emphasis has been within the Francophone world, given that a number of genealogical lines of influence are now being drawn connecting the work of the three figures most associated with the emergence of postcolonial theory - Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, and Gayatri Spivak - to an earlier generation of French (predominantly 'poststructuralist') theorists.Within this emerging narrative of intellectual influences, the importance of the thought of Jacques Derrida, and the status of deconstruction generally, has been acknowledged, but has not until now been adequately accounted for. In Deconstruction and the Postcolonial, Michael Syrotinski teases out the underlying conceptual tensions and theoretical stakes of what he terms a 'deconstructive postcolonialism', and argues that postcolonial studies stands to gain ground in terms of its political forcefulness and philosophical rigour by turning back to, and not away from, deconstruction."--BOOK JACKET.

    "Postcolonial Hauntologies is an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of critical, literary, visual, and performance texts by women from different parts of Africa. While contemporary critical thought and feminist theory have largely integrated the sexual female body into their disciplines, colonial representations of African women's sexuality "haunt" contemporary postcolonial African scholarship which, by maintaining a culture of avoidance about women's sexuality, generates a discursive conscription that ultimately holds the female body hostage. Ayo A. Coly employs the concept of "hauntology" and "ghostly matters" to formulate an explicative framework in which to examine postcolonial silences surrounding the African female body as well as a theoretical framework for discerning the elusive and cautious presences of female sexuality in the texts of African women. In illuminating the pervasive silence about the sexual female body in postcolonial African scholarship, Postcolonial Hauntologies challenges hostile responses to critical and artistic voices that suggest the African female body represents sacred ideological-discursive ground on which one treads carefully, if at all. Coly demonstrates how "ghosts" from the colonial past are countered by discursive engagements with explicit representations of women's sexuality and bodies that emphasize African women's power and autonomy."-- "Postcolonial Hauntologies is an interdisciplinary analysis of critical, literary, visual, and performance texts by women from different parts of Africa. Ayo A. Coly employs the concept of "hauntology" to examine postcolonial silences surrounding the African female body as well as female sexuality in the art of African women"--
