ALT 36 turns a "queer eye" on Africa offering provocative (re-)readings of texts to position formerly erased sexualities and contemporary sexual expression among Africans on the continent and abroad
In transition
There is a long tradition of multiple sexualities in Africa, but it is a tradition that has been violently interrupted by Western colonialism. Neocolonial extension of these prohibitions shapes the ongoing struggle for rights among LGBTIQ individuals and communities throughout the African continent, with variations from country to country. As with other such social movements, the arts reflect and reinscribe strong prejudices or contend with them,…

Historicizing Christian Encounters with the Other
Post-colonial theory
Rather than agreeing to any one meaning or referent, most critics these days speak of ‘post-colonialisms’ to refer principally to ‘historical, social and economic material conditions’ and at other times to ‘historically-situated imaginative products’ and ‘aesthetic practices: representations, discourses and values’ (McLeod 2000: 254). Arising from subaltern studies, its theorists embrace hybridity, indict alterity, analyze colonial discourse, and…

The Postcolonial and the Global
This interdisciplinary work brings the humanities and social sciences into dialogue by examining issues such as globalized capital, discourses of antiterrorism, and identity politics. Essayists from the fields of postcolonial studies and globalization theory address the ethical and pragmatic ramifications of opposing interpretations of these issues and, for the first time, seek common ground. Contributors: Pal Ahluwalia, U of California, San Dieg…
Jihad as rite of passage
Two recent novels by Algerians (Tahar Djaout’s The Last Summer of Reason, and Slimane Benaïssa’s The Last Night of a Damned Soul) offer critiques of Islamic totalitarianism in two settings: local Arab states like the one fictionalized by Djaout, and the cosmopolitan community of diasporic Muslims recruited to the ranks of suicide bombers in the name of self‐ and social purification. Djaout, assassinated by fundamentalists outside his home in Alge…

The vibrant cultural exchange between Africa and India
India in Africa, Africa in India
India in Africa, Africa in India traces the longstanding interaction between these two regions, showing that the Indian Ocean world provides many examples of cultural flows that belie our understanding of globalization as a recent phenomenon. This region has had, and continues to have, an internal integrity that touches the lives of its citizens in their commerce, their cultural exchanges, and their concepts of each other and of themselves in the…
Biafra as Heritage and Symbol
Eddie Iroh made the observation that writers of his generation, who had lived through the Biafran conflict, were too close to the suffering to write the definitive accounts of the war, and that the task would fall to later generations. This essay looks at three later accounts Dulue Mbachu’s War Games (2005), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), and Uzodinma Iweala’s Beast of No Nation (2005) to assess the war’s impact on Nigeri…
Heading South
Terminology is always a site of politics, and "global South" is no exception. Many of the places proposed as likely areas for discussion in the pages of this new journal are not, in fact, south of the equator. Nor are other areas that are, in fact, south of the border necessarily as appropriate for discussion in this journal. Yet it is appropriate to reach for another terminological alleyway like this one to help us reimagine, yet again, the peop…

Can the Cosmopolitan Speak
The marketing of books is often beyond the control of their authors; nonetheless, dust jackets sometimes offer amusing evidence of the audience that publication houses, if not authors, wish to reach. Thus, in Red Earth and Pouring Rain ( 1995), Vikram Chandra apparently offers readers the sto1y of "an eighteenth-century wan-ior poet (now reincarnated as a typewriting monkey) and an Indian student home from college in America ... [and] ranging fro…

Red Earth, Pouring Rain, and the Question of Authenticity
The Bombay Boys of Mira Nair, Firdaus Kanga and Ardashir Vakil
The valorization of traditional sources that has come to be termed nativism has a broad politics that can distort the historical record by romanticizing the past. When Leopold Senghor or Amilcar Cabral speak of a "national culture"1 as the source for post-independence development and Frantz Fanon warns against the exoticization of "native"2 culture, the contours of the argument seem to be obvious: critics in one camp seek first to counter colonia…

The Postcolonial Crescent
When the Ayatollah Khomeini pronounced the fatwa against the novelist Salman Rushdie in 1989, the world awoke to the question which unifies the fifteen essays in this volume: What is the contentious relationship between the world's fastest growing religion and an increasingly secular literary world? Recognizing the convergence between Islam's religious concerns and the political agenda it shares with many postcolonial emerging nations, noted inte…
Charles Kingsley and the Via Media
With the recent centenary of Newman's death attention has again been paid, in passing, to his notorious opponent Charles Kingsley ( 1819- 7 5). 1 For the last century this has largely been the case: as Kingsley's most recent biographer has noted, "It was [his] misfortune to be the fly embedded in the clear amber of his antagonist's apology" (Chitty 237). Though for Roman Catholics the 1864 controversy that led to the Apologia pro vita sua still s…
Charles Kingsley and Literary Theory of the 1850s
In 1850 Thomas Carlyle advised Charles Kingsley to "pay no attention at all to the foolish clamour of reviewers, whether laudatory or condemnatory" (LK 1: 245).' Kingsley had just published his first two novels, Alton Locke and Yeast; he thanked Carlyle for the advice and assured him that he would welcome the "folios of 'articulate wind"' not as inducements to improve his style or as coercion to accept the increasingly demanding artistic norms fo…
