SoSe 22: S-Colonial and Postcolonial Literatures: Afropolitan Women
Cordula Lemke
Kommentar
In her seminal essay "Bye-bye Babar", Taiye Selasi describes afropolitanism in a celebratory manner: "You'll know us when you see us by our funny blend of London fashion, New York jargon, professional drive and parent-pleasing manners. We are Afropolitans: not citizens but Africans of the world." Her aim of presenting a new image of 'Africa' has had a huge impact on identity constructions and has brought forth a whole array of writers that were labelled 'afropolitan'. In this seminar we will take a look at texts of female writers from Selasi’s novel on.
Texts:
Taiye Selasi, Ghana Must Go
Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, The Dragonfly Sea
