Viac o knihe
Exploring the portrayal of dictatorships in African fiction, this book delves into the roots of postcolonial authoritarianism and the quest for democratic alternatives. It contextualizes the 'neoliberal' era post-1970s as a phase of recolonization driven by Western powers and financial institutions. By analyzing works from notable authors like Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, it highlights the tension between concentrated political power and the enduring aspiration for democracy, reflecting the ongoing struggle against colonial legacies.
