Claiming history : colonialism, ethnography, and the novel

Places African literature--novels of the colonial and postcolonial periods, written in both French and English--in their proper context within the field of postcolonial studies and illustrates how historical narration not only "answers back" to Europe's colonialist legacy, but also serves as a complex form of dissent among Africans themselves.
