Anticolonial Form - Reza, Alexandra (Lecturer in Comparative Literatures and Cultures, Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literatures and Cultures, University of Bristol)

Raza examines key literary journals published in French, English, and Portuguese by African writers in Europe in the period of decolonization mainly between 1940 and 1970, to understand how writers understood Empire as a political and cultural structure, and what conceptions of freedom, culture, and society underpinned anti-colonial thinking.
