This book investigates the literary portrayal of African and Afrodescendant identities in early fictional works by Franco-Cameroonian writer Léonora Miano and Franco-Senegalese writer Fatou Diome. These works are shown to be characterized by changes in diasporic directionality and consciousness that increasingly engage with the Afro-Atlantic space.
