{"product_id":"quebec-connection-julie-franoise-tolliver-9780813944890","title":"Quebec Connection: A Poetics of Solidarity in Global Francophone Literatures","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the 1950s to the 1970s, the idea of independence inspired radical changes across the French-speaking world. In \u003ci\u003eThe Quebec Connection\u003c\/i\u003e, Julie-Fran oise Tolliver examines the links and parallels that writers from Quebec, the Caribbean, and Africa imagined to unite that world, illuminating the tropes they used to articulate solidarities across the race and class differences that marked their experience. Tolliver argues that the French tongue both enabled and delimited connections between these writers, restricting their potential with the language's own imperial history. The literary map that emerges demonstrates the plurality of French-language literatures, going beyond the concept of a single, unitary francophone literature to appreciate the profuse range of imaginaries connected by solidary texts that hoped for transformative independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportantly, the book expands the \"francophone\" framework by connecting African and Caribbean literatures to Qu b cois literature, attending to their interactions while recognizing their particularities. \u003ci\u003eThe Quebec Connection's\u003c\/i\u003e analysis of transnational francophone solidarities radically alters the field of francophone studies by redressing the racial logic that isolates the northern province from what has come to be called the postcolonial world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie-Fran輟ise Tolliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813944899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813944890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022","brand":"Julie-Fran輟ise Tolliver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983411183871,"sku":"9780813944890","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b5ef359-6e40-40f8-a8f4-0e63c82199f6.jpg?v=1683266484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quebec-connection-julie-franoise-tolliver-9780813944890","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
