0 - Default Title
Description
This book presents a distinctive viewpoint on the significance of sacred spaces in postcolonial literature while illuminating the diasporic narrative of regions often overlooked in Pan-African literary studies.By challenging the main trends that have benefited countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, Rosanna Masiola and Matteo Baraldo bring together multiple faiths, literary genres, and narratives in diachronic and comparative critical perspectives from Egypt, Ethiopia, and Libya. Masiola and Baraldo focus on historical authors and the rise of contemporary writers in the diaspora from a cross-cultural and comparative perspective. By examining writers such as Ahmad Shawqi, Ibrahim al-Kuni, Sahle Sellassie, Nega Mezlekia, Maaza Mengiste, and Gabriella Ghermandi, this book seeks to connect the reader to a mystical dimension of diasporic postcolonial literature.
