Brenda Cooper explores the distinct elements of the genre in a West African context, and in relation to:\n* a range of global expressions of magical realism, from the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez to that of Salman Rushdie\n* wider contemporary trends in African writing, with particular attention to how the realism of authors such as Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka has been connected with nationalist agendas.\nThis is a fascinating and important work for all those working on African literature, magical realism, or postcoloniality.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256284238168,"sku":"9780415340618","price":58.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415340618_49b2a769-a5b3-4130-acc7-4bdbb178dc90.jpg?v=1769068856","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/magical-realism-in-west-african-fiction-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
