A compelling and generative source for scholars and students of myriad fields. -Studies in the Novel Makes a compelling case for a rethinking of narrative moments including slavery, the Middle Passage, and colonization that have defined the fiction produced in a transatlantic geography. Provokes a reassessment of notions of Africa as an ur-home and figurations of nation-state.

A compelling and generative source for scholars and students of myriad fields. --Studies in the Novel
