Prof. Claire Dehon

Why Sub-Saharan Francophone Literature?

Professor Dehon is a leading authority on the Francophone novel of Sub-Saharan Africa, and her two books and numerous articles testify to a significant body of work on this and related subjects. She will discuss what led her to explore the Francophone novel by writers from the Sub-Sahara, and what unique challenges such work poses for critics. A reception will follow.
