By challenging the main trends that have benefited countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, Rosanna Masiola and Matteo Baraldo bring together multiple faiths, literary genres, and narratives in diachronic and comparative critical perspectives from Egypt, Ethiopia, and Libya. Masiola and Baraldo focus on historical authors and the rise of contemporary writers in the diaspora from a cross-cultural and comparative perspective. By examining writers such as Ahmad Shawqi, Ibrahim al-Kuni, Sahle Sellassie, Nega Mezlekia, Maaza Mengiste, and Gabriella Ghermandi, this book seeks to connect the reader to a mystical dimension of diasporic postcolonial literature.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
