Product Description

Grounded in world-systemic analysis, this book revisits the literary and social implications of tragedy in relation to global narratives about Africa and within fiction by writers from the continent. It argues that working through the full complexity of tragedy helps to identify and challenge plots that depict Africa as reaching a tragic impasse. Instead, reconsidering tragedy allows for further, related interventions including the implications of narratives of development, the argument for formally engaging with literary texts that present challenging material, reformulations of African political and cultural agency, and the possibilities to be found in utopian thinking. It claims that contemporary fiction helps to scrutinise the familiar big picture of Africa and create space for discussions about wider political and historical commonalities between the continent and the rest of the world. As such, the novels discussed in this study are not simply about Africa: these fictionalnarratives position Africa as a central actor within the global history of late capitalism.
