{"product_id":"9781846310553","title":"Postcolonial Thought in the French Speaking World","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1990's, Postcolonial Studies risked imploding as a credible area of academic enquiry. Repeated anthologization and an overemphasis on the English-language literatures led to sustained critiques of the field and to an active search for alternative approaches to the globalized and transnational formations of the post-colonial world. In the early twenty-first century, however, postcolonial began to reveal a new openness to its comparative dimensions. French-language contributors to postcolonial debate (such as Edouard Glissant and Abdelkebir Khatibi) have recently risen to greater prominence in the English-speaking world, and there have also appeared an increasing number of important critical and theoretical texts on postcolonial issues, written by scholars working principally on French-language material. It is to such a context that this book responds. Acknowledging these shifts, this volume provides an essential tool for students and scholars outside French departments seeking a way into the study of Francophone colonial postcolonial debates. At the same time, it supplies scholars in French with a comprehensive overview of essential ideas and key intellectuals in this area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032709873904,"sku":"9781846310553","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781846310553_p0.jpg?v=1763745095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781846310553","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
