Disobeying Monoversal Literary Canonism
It limns the Africanization of global literature and the globalization of African literature by arguing that African literature has unduly suffered from biased comparisons and subsequent denigrations by Western critics, who often uncritically dub Western literature the canon that needs to be sheepishly emulated by African writers who wish to enjoy global or universal acclaim. The article concludes that both global and African literatures would be…

Nyamnjoh’s novel affirms that the maintenance of fluid cosmopolitan borders would facilitate cultural encounters and engender co…

It borrows critical perspectives from Achille Mbembe’s notion of the chaotic plurality of the postcolony. It contends that normative hedonism is a pervasive feature of Cameroonian anti-dictatorial literature. It focuses o…
