Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the portrayal of dictatorships in African literature, this book analyzes how selected novels reflect the origins of postcolonial authoritarianism and envision democratic alternatives. It highlights the impact of the neoliberal era post-1970s, framing it as a 'recolonization' of Africa. By examining works from prominent authors like Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the text explores the ongoing battle between dictatorship and the aspirations for democracy, emphasizing the need for political and economic transformation rooted in anti-colonial ideals.
