This collection brings together methods and insights taken from literary criticism, cultural studies, philosophy, theory, film studies, and linguistics to define new parameters of study for the emerging field of francophone postcolonial studies. While francophone writings share some characteristics indicative of postcolonial literatures in general, they also have their own unique set of characteristics, including issues of migration, stereotyping, continued relationships with France, and creolization.

H. Adlai Murdoch is associate professor of French at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and author of Creole Identity in the French Caribbean Novel. Anne Donadey is associate professor of European studies and women's studies at San Diego State University and author of Recasting Postcolonialism: Women Writing Between Worlds.
