Produktbeschreibung
The turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed an expansion of critical approaches to African literature. The Routledge Handbook of African Literature is a one-stop publication bringing together studies of African literary texts that embody an array of newer approaches applied to a wide range of works. This includes frameworks derived from food studies, utopian studies, network theory, eco-criticism, and examinations of the human/animal interface alongside more familiar discussions of postcolonial politics.

Every chapter is an original research essay written by a broad spectrum of scholars with expertise in the subject, providing an application of the most recent insights into analysis of particular topics or application of particular critical frameworks to one or more African literary works.

The handbook will be a valuable interdisciplinary resource for scholars and students of African literature, African culture, postcolonial literature and literary analysis.

Rezensionen
Carli Coetzee and Moradewun Adejunmobi curate cutting-edge scholarship in the Routledge Handbook of African Literature. Divided into seven parts, the book presents a fresh picture of the current directions in the field. The editors call this image a Kodak moment, signaling the anticipated transience of the critical frameworks of the Handbook. This admission quickly turns out to be modest at best, as the critical frameworks of chapters consistently forge new ways of harnessing African literature.

(The Handbook) is a tour de force and should dominate classroom and research spaces. With straightforward language that consistently and effortlessly harnesses theory, text, and argument, the editors and authors do scholarship a world of good.
