It calls attention to the African writer's use of French, a process of creative translation in which the writer's words form a hybrid code that compels the original French to refer to the indigenous African language for meaning. Examining a group of works under the theme of translation, this book reveals that a consideration of both ideological and linguistic elements enhances understanding the subject from the broader perspective of post-colonial discourse."--Jacket. 0aEuropean - French 0aGeneral 0aLiterary Criticism 0aLiterature - Classics / Criticism 0aAfrica 0aAfrican literature (French) 0aBilingualism 0aHistory and criticism
