Of Irony and Empire
Laura Rice · 2007
על הספר
"Of Irony and Empire is a thorough examination of Muslim writers from former European colonies in Africa who have increasingly entered into critical conversations with the metropole. Focusing on the period between World War I and the present, "the age of irony," this book explores the political and symbolic invention of Muslim Africa and its often contradictory representations. Through a critical analysis of irony and resistance in works by writers who come from nomadic areas around the Sahara - Mustapha Tlili (Tunisia), Malika Mokeddem (Algeria), Cheikh Hamidou Kane (Senegal), and Tayeb Salih (Sudan) - Laura Rice offers a perspective that accounts for both the influence of the Western, instrumental imaginary, and the Islamic, holistic one."--Jacket.
