• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study examines how West African writer-intellectuals harnessed their Atlantic networks to explore ideas of race, regeneration, and nation-building. Using cosmopolitanism as a primary theoretical tool, Mary A. Seiwaa Owusu rejects dominant narratives of anti-colonialism to demonstrate a new understanding of Ghana's nationalist history.
