"Situating literature and anthropology in mutual interrogation, Miller's...book actually performs what so many of us only call for. Nowhere have all the crucial issues been brought together with the sort of critical sophistication it displays."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

". . . a superb cross-disciplinary analysis."—Y. Mudimbe

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent interdisciplinary endeavor., March 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Theories of Africans: Francophone Literature and Anthropology in Africa (Black Literature and Culture Series) (Paperback)
Miller's book provides the reader with an extremely well thought-out interdisciplinary journey through the issues current in Francophone African literature. His careful analysis is fully supported through insistent references to a myriad of other works, and a conscientious and sensitive approach to discussing African literaure. I highly recomend it to anyone with interests in African discourse, literary theory, culture studies, anthropology, and textual practice.
