Description and Table of Contents

Description

Ahmed Bangura argues that an ingrained pattern of prejudice toward Islam in European-language writing on Africa has led to misreadings of West African novels. He traces the origins of these misunderstandings and offers a framework for the study of West African novels with an Islamic subtext.
