This text in Francophone studies offers a comprehensive overview of postcolonial issues in French studies. Moving away from reductive geographical or linguistic surveys of the Francophone world, this collection of original essays provides a thematic discussion of the complex historical, political and cultural links between France and its former colonies. Providing a theoretical framework for postcolonial criticism of the field, it also seeks to trigger a genuine dialogue between Francophone and Anglophone scholars of postcolonialism.
