The Francophone World: Cultural Issues and Perspectives

Nine contributed chapters fill a gap in English-language guides to African, Caribbean, and North American cultures with close ties to French language and culture. Beauclair (French, Seattle Pacific U.; Edmonds Community College) introduces Francophone identity themes explored: e.g., the emergence of women writers in Senegal, prejudice against post-colonial North African immigrants in France, and Quebec’s Révolution tranquille . Chapters include discussion questions. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
