    This study stretches and challenges current canonical configurations of modernism in two key ways: by considering the centrality of black artists, writers and intellectuals as key actors and core presences in the development of a modernist avant-garde; and by interrogating 'blackness' as an aesthetic and political category at critical moments during the 20th century.

    "The Routledge Handbook of the New African Diasporic Literature introduces world literature readers to the transnational, multivocal writings of immigrant African authors. Covering works produced in Europe, North America, and elsewhere in the world, the book investigates three major aesthetic paradigms in African diasporic literature: the Sankofan wave (late 1960s- early 1990s); the Janusian wave (1990s-2020s); and the Offshoots of the New Arrivants (those born and growing up outside Africa). Written by well-established and emerging scholars of African and diasporic literatures from across the world, the chapters in the book cover the works of well-known and not so well-known Anglophone, Francophone, and Lusophone writers from different theoretical positionalities and critical approaches, pointing out the unique innovative artistic qualities of this major subgenre of African literature. The focus on the "diasporic consciousness" of the writers and their works sets this handbook apart from others that solely emphasize migration, which is more of a process than the community of settled African people involved in the dynamic acts of living reflected in diasporic writings. This book will appeal to researchers and students from across the fields of Literature, Diaspora Studies, African Studies, Migration Studies, and Postcolonial Studies"--...

    "In Moving Home, Sandra Gunning examines nineteenth-century African diasporic travel writing to expand and complicate understandings of the Black Atlantic. Gunning draws on the writing of missionaries, abolitionists, entrepreneurs, and explorers whose work challenges the assumptions that travel writing is primarily associated with leisure or scientific research. For instance, Yoruba ex-slave turned Anglican bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther played a role in the Christianization of colonial Nigeria. Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a formerly enslaved girl gifted to Queen Victoria, traveled the African colonies as the wife of a prominent colonial figure and at the protection of her benefactress. Alongside Nancy Gardiner Prince, Martin R. Delany, Robert Campbell, and others, these writers used their mobility as African diasporic and colonial subjects to explore the Atlantic world and beyond while they negotiated the complex intersections between nation and empire. Rather than categorizing them as merely precursors of Pan-Africanist traditions, Gunning traces their successes and frustrations to capture a sense of the historical and geographical specificities that shaped their careers"--

    Literatur, Prosa aus Afrika präsentiert sich in Deutschland mittlerweile in einer bemerkenswerten Vielfalt an Themen und Genres. Ob Migration oder Emanzipation, Adoleszenz oder Exil, Diktaturen oder Apartheid, Widerstand oder Identität, ob Jugendroman oder Frauenroman, Krimi oder Persiflage, historischer Roman oder moderner Großstadtroman - die Bandbreite der auch ins Deutsche übersetzten afrikanischen Belletristik ist beachtlich. Gleichwohl bleiben die Autoren aus Afrika oftmals ohne Gesicht, sprechen sie zwar durch ihr Werk, selten aber direkt zu ihren Leserinnen und Lesern hierzulande. In dieser Sammlung von Interviews kommen die Autorinnen und Autoren aus Schwarzafrika nun selbst zu Wort. Sie sprechen über Fremdheit und Flucht, über die anhaltenden Folgen des Kolonialismus, über das Verlagswesen und die Lesekultur in afrikanischen Ländern. Sie stellen sich dem sogenannten Sprachenproblem, erläutern ihre literarischen Motive, den Stellenwert der mündlich überlieferten Literatur in ihren Werken sowie die Bedingungen ihres Schreibens. Zusammen genommen formen diese Meinungen ein schillerndes Spektrum an Stellungnahmen zur Situation der Literatur und der Literaten in und aus Afrika. Der Band enthält Gespräche unter anderem mit José Eduardo Agualusa, Ama Ata Aidoo, dem kürzlich verstorbenen Francis Bebey, Calixthe Beyala, Syl Cheney-Coker, Boubacar Boris Diop, Emmanuel B. Dongala, Cyprian Ekwensi, Aminata Sow Fall, Nuruddin Farah, Axel Gauvin, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Chenjerai Hove, Rayda Jacobs, Antjie Krog, Mazisi Kunene, Goretti Kyomuhendo, Don Mattera, Tierno Monénembo, Meja Mwangi, Ben Okri, Lesego Rampolokeng, Ousmane Sembène, Gillian Slovo, Véronique Tadjo, Yvonne Vera, Ivan Vladislavic und Abdurahman A. Waberi. Literatur aus Afrika ist in Deutschland inzwischen in einer großen Vielfalt von Genres präsentiert; die Themenvielfalt allein der ins Deutsche übersetzten afrikanischen Belletristik ist erstaunlich. Diese Verbreitung afrikanischer Literatur bei uns kontrastiert mit der Tatsache, dass die Autoren als Persönlichkeiten jedoch fast durchgängig unbekannt sind. In dieser Sammlung von Interviews aus den Jahren 1996-2001 (einige davon per E-Mail geführt) kommen Autoren aus Schwarzafrika nun selbst zu Wort. Sie sprechen über Motive, Form und persönliche Bedingungen ihres Schreibens, aber auch über spezifische Probleme und Themen: das Leben in unterschiedlichen Kulturen, damit verbunden das Sprachenproblem (Kolonialsprache versus Stammessprache), den Stellenwert der mündlich überlieferten traditionellen Literatur in ihren Werken. Dazu treten vielfach politische Faktoren - nicht wenige der Schriftsteller leben oder lebten im Exil oder unter einer Zensur. Jeder Autor ist mit einem Schwarz-Weiß-Foto vertreten.

    America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books--Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy. If we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative. Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date Foreword / Ta-Nehisi Coates -- Romancing slavery -- Being or becoming the stranger -- The color fetish -- Configurations of blackness -- Narrating the other -- The foreigner's home.

African Literature as Political Philosophy looks in particular at Achebe's Anthills of the Savannah and Petals of Blood by Ngugi wa Thiong'o, but situates these within the broader context of developments in African literature over the past half-century, discussing writers from Ayi Kwei Armah to Wole Soyinka. M.S.C. Okolo provides a thorough analysis of the authors' differing approaches and how these emerge from the literature. She shows the roots of Achebe's reformism and Ngugi's insistence on revolution and how these positions take shape in their work. Okolo argues that these authors have bee

    "In Moving Home, Sandra Gunning examines nineteenth-century African diasporic travel writing to expand and complicate understandings of the Black Atlantic. Gunning draws on the writing of missionaries, abolitionists, entrepreneurs, and explorers whose work challenges the assumptions that travel writing is primarily associated with leisure or scientific research. For instance, Yoruba ex-slave turned Anglican bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther played a role in the Christianization of colonial Nigeria. Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a formerly enslaved girl gifted to Queen Victoria, traveled the African colonies as the wife of a prominent colonial figure and at the protection of her benefactress. Alongside Nancy Gardiner Prince, Martin R. Delany, Robert Campbell, and others, these writers used their mobility as African diasporic and colonial subjects to explore the Atlantic world and beyond while they negotiated the complex intersections between nation and empire. Rather than categorizing them as merely precursors of Pan-Africanist traditions, Gunning traces their successes and frustrations to capture a sense of the historical and geographical specificities that shaped their careers"--
