By Erica Johnson

Book Overview

Includes a foreword by Marianne Hirsch, Columbia University, USA
Covers a wide variety of texts written in French and English by writers from the U.S., the Caribbean, the Maghreb, sub-Saharan Africa, and the South Pacific
Faithful to its comparative approach, the book fosters a critical reading of French and English language texts
Linked by a common set of theoretical concerns and by the practice of comparative study, these yet diverse essays contextualize the politics of writing memory in the shadow of colonial history
