"Francophone Literature as World Literature examines French-language works from a
range of global traditions and shows how these literary practices draw individuals,
communities, and their cultures and idioms into a planetary web of tension and cross-fertilization.
The Francophone corpus under scrutiny here comes about in the evolving, markedly relational
context provided by these processes and their developments during and after the French
empire. The fifteen chapters of this collection delve into key aspects, moments, and
sites of the literature flourishing throughout the francosphere after World War II
and especially since the 1980s, from the French Hexagon to the Caribbean and India
and from Québec to the Maghreb and Romania. This body of work claims, with particular
force in the wake of the littérature-monde debate, its place in a more democratic
world republic of letters, where writers, critics, publishers, and audiences are no
longer beholden to traditional centers of cultural authority"
