African Cultural Production and the Rhetoric of Humanism is an inaugural attempt to focus exclusively and extensively on the question of humanism in African art and culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection brings together scholars from different disciplines who deftly examine the deployment of various forms of artistic production such as oral and written literatures, paintings, and cartoons to articulate an Afrocentric humanist discourse. The contributors argue that the artists, in their representation of civil wars, massive corruption, poverty, abuse of human rights, and other dehumanizing features of post-independence Africa, call for a return to the traditional African vision of humanism that is relentlessly being eroded by the realities of postcolonial nationhood.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLifongo Vetindeis professor of French and francophone studies at Lawrence University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJean-Blaise Samou is assistant professor of francophone and intercultural studies at Saint Mary's University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 05, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51867051655456,"sku":"9781498587587","price":73.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/DJ0xSWk1ND9781498587587.webp?v=1781683924","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/african-cultural-production-and-the-rhetoric-of-humanism-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
