Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This is one of the rare studies of African literature to bridge the gap between North African and Sub-Saharan literature, two worlds that rarely meet in the minds of most specialists in the field of African literature ... [it] is a valuable contribution to studies of African literature and society today. For this reason, it is a book that should be read by all who claim to be specialists in African literature." -- Comparative Literature Studies

"This book is beautifully written in clear, elegant prose and provides an original, imaginative, and compelling argument regarding alternative modernities in twentieth-century Africa." -- Winifred Woodhull, author of Transfigurations of the Maghreb: Feminism, Decolonization, and Literatures

"This is an excellent critical examination of some of Africa's most celebrated novels and the author approaches this rather complicated field with a unique commentary and balanced perspective." -- Chouki El Hamel, Arizona State University

Reseña del editor:

Examines the transformative power of irony in the creation of Muslim Africa.
