Books in the CARAF Books: Caribbean and African Literature Translated from French series

Translated for the first time in English, this collection of short fiction details the plight of urban Algerian women and raises far-reaching issues. The stories criticise the post-colonial socialist regime, which is seen as denying and subjugating women whilst celebrating the liberation of men.

These selected essays from the rich and complex collection of Edouard Glissant, one of the most prominent writers and intellectuals of the Caribbean, examine the psychological, sociological, and philosophical implications of cultural dependency.
