Reverse Diaspora across the Black Atlantic
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, 3000–8000 Africans and African descendants from Brazil relocated to the Bight of Benin and developed a very successful settlement system in what is today Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo. Kangni Alem’s Les Enfants du Brésil (2017) and Florent Couao-Zotti’s Les Fantômes du Brésil (2006) portray these Brazilian returnee communities, also known as Aguda, who wielded considerable economic and political …
Space Probe
This article focuses on the literary genealogy that connects "Answers in Progress" (1967), a short story by Amiri Baraka (formerly known as LeRoi Jones) to Emmanuel Dongala's "Jazz and Palm Wine" (1982). Both texts are significant because of their respective incorporation of science-fiction elements which constituted a fringe phenomenon in African and African American literature at the time of their publication. Baraka and Dongala create speculat…
Convergences urbaines
The article analyzes how migration and city interact in six novels by African authors who not only write about but also from the Americas. I argue that the novels mediate the Africa-Americas nexus through the Heteropolis, a term coined by Charles Jencks to describe an urban form built on difference, contradiction, and inclusiveness. Transposing this concept to literature shifts the focus towards a process of interferences on five levels. First, t…
The black Mediterranean reimagined
This article analyses francophone speculative literature and cinema and the way it mobilizes counterfactuals to challenge historical teleologies and spatial orders by exploring possible worlds and contingencies. The analysis will focus on four works of fiction from the francophone African diaspora including Bertène Juminer’s La revanche de Bozambo (2000), Boubacar Boris Diop’s Le temps de Tamango (1981), Abdourahman A. Waberi’s Aux États-Unis d’A…
Migration, imagination, poétique. Le paradigme transnational chez Marie-Célie Agnant
Le présent article analyse La Dot de Sara et Le Livre d’Emma , de l’écrivaine haïtienne-québécoise Marie-Célie Agnant, sous l’angle du transnationalisme, notion empruntée aux sciences sociales. Il s’agit de démontrer que le paradigme transnational y est plus qu’un simple enjeu thématique et diégétique, car il se manifeste dans la structure, la narration et la langue des deux romans. La tension entre pays d’origine et pays d’accueil, fiction et mo…
La littérature pour la jeunesse ou l’art de « danser dans les chaînes
Le présent article se propose de sonder un corpus de littérature pour la jeunesse provenant d’auteurs haïtiens de la diaspora nord-américaine, afin d’en découvrir les leitmotivs et leur inscription dans un contexte de migration. À partir des oeuvres de Marie-Célie Agnant (Alexis d’Haïti,Alexis, fils de Raphaël) et de Stanley Péan (La mémoire ensanglantée), tous deux résidant au Québec, ainsi que d’Edwidge Danticat (Behind the Mountains), installé…
