Reviews

This is a book that blends critical perspectives to celebrate hybridity. It tackles questions of belonging and displacement, speech and writing, transnationalism and interculturality. It puts the African postcolonial experience in a global context and demonstrates both the reach and the anxiety of translation. A momentous book and a stupendous achievement. (Theo Hermans, Centre for Intercultural Studies, University College London)Empirically based on numerous examples drawn from the wide spectrum of African Europhone literature, Paul Bandia's book is essential reading for scholars and students working in the field of crosscultural communication as it specifically relates to issues of language and identity in a most significant but heretofore neglected region of the world. (Annie Brisset, President, International Association for Translation & Intercultural Studies - IATIS)
