What is African Pasts, Presents, and Futures: Generational Shifts in African Women's Literature, Film, and Internet Discourse (After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial France) about?
African Pasts, Presents, and Futures: Generational Shifts in African Women's Literature, Film, and Internet Discourse, by Touria Khannous, provides a history of African women’s cultural production, as well as an alternative approach to the arguments that have traditionally dominated post-colonial studies in general, and African and gender studies in particular. It examines some of the more overarching questions that are prevalent in the works of African women authors, who position themselves within the contexts of Islam, feminism, nationalism, modernity, and global and postcolonial politics, thus engaging in the construction of socio-political platforms for reform in their home countries. The book explores different aspects of women’s agency at the political, cultural, social, religious and aesthetic level, and highlights their civil society activism and push for legal reform. It also traces their opinions on a range of social and political questions and underscores fundamental shifts in their positions and concerns through the different generations. ** Contents 7 Acknowledgments 9 Theoretical Introduction 11 I: Negotiating Colonial and National Politics 29 1 Algerian Women in the
