Journeys Through the French African Novel

Front Cover
Heinemann, 1990 - Literary Criticism - 230 pages
Mildred Mortimer questions the preeminence of outer and inner voyages in the francophone African novel. Rooted in both African oral tradition and the European novel, the journey motif not only reflects cultural blending but also African experiences of migration, exploration, and conquest.
