Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text reflects on writings by Francophone African women as it shifted from literature of testimony and complaint to one of power. It examines the mechanisms of rebellion by the authors, who reject defeatist visions of postcolonial Africa stricken with burdens and propose an alternative vision.
