Max Lobe’s Loin de Douala (2018) and Hemley Boum’s Les Jours viennent et passent (2019) differ in many ways, but the common journey North in a context of widespread attacks by the terrorist group Boko Haram in the region in the mid-2010s shows a need for a literary imaginary that includes regional mobilities and current societal issues in Cameroon. I argue that the fictional regional journeys undertaken by the characters uncover not only a different kind of embodied mobility, but also questions of religious extremism and opportunities for the youth by transporting the characters to the locations where these issues are most pressing, and perhaps least publicly discussed. Spatial proximity becomes a way to change the themes the writers’ fiction embrace, to “get closer” as it were to some of the key questions of the region writ large.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"60 1","pages":"389 - 405"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chibesakunda was a German woman who, when she was younger, had spent time in southern Africa. She was now living in Munich, Germany, where she had met and befriended Cordelia Guenther. Guenther had also spent time in Cape Town, South Africa and met Bessie Emery, later Bessie Head, while she was there. Chibesakunda, in the course of cleaning out Guenther’s house after Guenther was moved to a care facility, found some documents that she thought the Trust would be interested in. These documents consisted of a very short correspondence between Head and Guenther; a pencil sketch of Head drawn by Guenther; some unpublished poems by Head; two letters in German from Guenther, one to her mother and one to a friend, describing Head and the first time Guenther met her; a copy of a scholarship application letter that Head had written; and a copy of a call for contributions to the first issue of Head’s newsletter The Citizen. The documents date from 19 May to 1 August 1961. They were scanned and emailed to me between 24 and 26 November 2014, and the originals were couriered to Botswana shortly thereafter. They have been donated by Chibesakunda to the Khama III Memorial Museum in Serowe, Botswana, which houses the Bessie Head Papers.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121642418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that Armah’s novel positions affect and affectability as the primary mode of subjectification and subjugation in the postcolony. More specifically, I show how the novel advances a postcolonial theory of affect that scrutinizes the progressivist temporal politics that founds the postcolonial state and the affective economies that sustain it. In turn, I argue that disaffection becomes the primary way the novel resists the progressivist ethos of the postcolony as it enables Armah’s protagonist to reckon with the tragedy of freedoms unrealized and recognize himself as a subject in and of history.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121171836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Writing the polyphonic African queer future: reflections on Akwaeke Emezi’s Freshwater 书写复调的非洲酷儿未来:反思阿克瓦克·埃梅齐的《淡水》

While there exists – or should exist – pluriversal notions of subjectivity and intersubjectivity, specific epistemologies produced by Eurocentric structures continue to govern these notions and drive liberational discourse. Drawing largely from Afro/Africanfuturism, Queer futurism, and cultural references drawn from African systems of thought, I argue that Emezi’s novel brings together modern technological intervention on the human body and Igbo cosmology to liberate the African queer body from Western dominant structures of knowledge and Africa’s cultural amnesia. I also argue that the futuristic perspectives deployed in Freshwater allows for the destabilizing of conventional knowledge at the level of language and imagery such that suppressed and new structures of consciousness are centered. This is shown through the emblematic figure of the deified African woman, the redemptive link between the female image and sacred python, the symbiosis between visual and non-visual components, and the polytheistic religious value of collaboration. I highlight, ultimately, that the intersection of technology and imagination for the goal of liberation, which critical futurism espouses, allows Emezi to regenerate the historiography of the Ogbanje without surrendering to the vocabulary of doom, misery and despair that frames their shortly lived human existence.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130840858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
