This book mediates a dialectics between power and subjectivity versus history and politics. The invention of Africa is not merely a residue of Africa's encounter with Europe but a project in continuity in contemporary history of Africa, where history has become a location of struggle and meaning, a location of power and domination.
These essays offer a unique comparison of literature of exile, exile not only in the sense of geographical dislocation, but also cultural and psychological uprootedness. Examining the semiotics of exile, this book draws new conclusions on the semantics of photography, the constituent value of tragedy, prototypes of artists, and the construction of female mythos. Here, Hong Zeng makes a fresh contribution to the scholarship of individual writers and to the field of comparative literature at large.
