Full textAbstract:
Novelist Fatou Diome, Senegalese migrant to France, in 2019 reached the twenty-fifth year in her adopted country. Silver-anniversary motives encouraged the author to chart the quarter century of progress of this “megaphone of migritude,” as Lila Azam Zanganeh notably called her. Moving from the rich exegeses of the liminal, haunted, frequently abjected, migritude conditions of her fictional—and often autobiographical—heroines, Diome has now arrived inside the Hexagon, where her words harmonize with a sizable chorus of interior-left establishment voices. However, she has not abandoned her powerful interest in the complexities of migritude’s pains and difficult opportunities. On the contrary, in Marianne porte plainte! Identité nationale: Des passerelles, pas des barrières! (Marianne Complains! National Identity: Gangways, Not Barriers!) (2017), Diome takes up the many threads of the migritude tapestry so fully depicted in her novels and reweaves them into a portrait of an ideal new multicultural French identity.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the queer feminist Afro-Asian poetics and politics of spoken word and performance artist Shailja Patel’s 2006 onewoman show and 2010 prose poem, both titled Migritude. Patel’s migritude poetics resonates with and departs from much contemporary migritude writing, particularly with respect to the genre’s focus on a global-North-based, black Atlantic African diaspora. The article draws attention to a “brown Atlantic,” in which Africa is the site both of diaspora and of homeland. More important, it shows that Patel’s queer femininity unsettles a diasporic logic of racial exceptionalism. This logic aids and abets a (black) native/(South Asian) migrant divide in colonial and postcolonial Kenya. Patel’s femme migritude, as I call it, draws on nonequivalent histories of black and Asian racialized dispossession to construct a mode of global-South, cross-racial political relationality.

Full textAbstract:
The term migritude was first coined by French theorist Jacques Chevrier to characterize “extracontinental” francophone sub-Saharan literatures that have their roots in negritude and immigration. Kenyan cultural artist Shailja Patel later expanded the term to include South Asian “migrants with attitude.” This article further expands the current framings of migritude by linking it to the historical movement of kala pani, or nineteenth-century Indian indenture. The idea of kala pani migritude reveals an engagement with clandestine migration, identity, language, translation, and geography, both rooted in France and routed along treacherous seaways. Shumona Sinha’s novel Assommons les pauvres also focuses on the experiences of the privileged immigrant narrator whose story is a core part of the novel. Sinha has the privilege to narrate the stories of the migrants for them in her coveted role as a translator. Her stories are mediated by her ambivalence toward the migrants, for whom she feels shame and disgust, and her own tentative attempts to assimilate Frenchness as a normative ideal. This article offers a contrapuntal reading of Sinha’s novel through the lens of kala pani migritude to determine whether migrant subjectivity in a mediated narrative is an ultimately temporary, fleeting, or failed act.

Full textAbstract:
The first of its kind, this special focus section examines a relatively understudied concept and brings together new literary works and scholarship across continents and languages. Contemporary authors and activists like Fatou Diome, Shailja Patel, Abdourahman Waberi, and Igiaba Scego contribute to a new literary, cultural, and political genre called migritude. Migritude initially indicated a group of younger African authors in Paris but has since expanded to include Europe beyond France, such as Britain and Italy, as well as South Asian and Caribbean diasporas. This body of work reveals intersections between complex histories of colonialism, immigration, globalization, and racism against migrants and highlights differences in region, class, gender, and sexuality that constrain the movement of many people. In an era characterized by openly belligerent nationalism and anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, this special focus section aims to unpack migritude cultural production in an international context to study and combat these violent trends.

Full textAbstract:
The publication of the Senegalese writer Fatou Diome’s Le Ventre de l’Atlantique (The Belly of the Atlantic) in 2003 revealed to the general public a new theme of predilection among African writers of the “new generation:” the writing of immigration and the claim of a global identity. In analogy to the movement of Negritude that fought for the affirmation and recognition of the black man and his culture, Jacques Chevrier called it “migritude.” While negritude is meant to be the affirmation of an existing identity, “migritude” instead claims the integration of that identity into the universal crucible of world citizenship. Achievable dream or chimerical delusions? Our work is aimed at seeking relevant answers to these questions.

Full textAbstract:
Migritude literature, or the literature of postcolonial migration, is often autobiographical and thus productively read through the lens of life writing. How authors position the immigrant self as subject sheds light on narrative possibilities and their potential impact on readers in contexts where racist, anti-immigrant discourses dominate. This article explores the scope and stakes of migritude life writing through the example of Il mio viaggio della speranza (My Voyage of Hope), a 2011 memoir by Bay Mademba, who recounts his journey from Senegal to Italy and bears witness to the discrimination he faces there. Mademba’s testimony responds to duress, which Ann Stoler defines as the “colonial entailments” that shape contemporary spaces, institutions, and relations. Produced by a small Tuscan press, the memoir circulates via immigrant street vendors. Through the convergence of narrative and material transactions, the book prompts reader-consumers to recognize their complicity in the duress that shapes their interactions.

Full textAbstract:
L’écriture migrante caractérise depuis plusieurs décennies maintenant le paysage littéraire francophone. Notre lecture de cette nouvelle forme d’écriture s’est axée sur les textes de l’écrivaine franco-camerounaise Léonora Miano, que l’on compte au nombre des écrivains diasporiques contemporains africains. À travers cette étude, notre objectif était de montrer comment les notions d’espaces et d’identités se donnaient à repenser, ce à travers de nouvelles figurations. En premier abord, nous avons analyser les représentations spatiales par le biais de deux topographies symboliques de la littérature africaine : l’Afrique et l’Europe. Il a également été question de distinguer l’apparition de nouveaux espaces identitaires tel que l’Afropea ; Cet espace immatériel qui accompagne l’identité du nouveau personnage Africain- Européen qu’est l’Afropéen. En second lieu, nous avons analysé l’identité problématique des personnages afin d’en dégager grâce aux éléments psychiques, ethniques, sociaux, et ontologiques, le principe de l’autoreprésentation de l’individu et la part que joue l’environnement dans cette autoreprésentationMigrant writing has been a feature of the French-speaking literary landscape for several decades now. Our reading of this new form of writing focused on the texts of the FrenchCameroonian writer Léonora Miano, who is one of the contemporary African diaspora writers. Through this study, our objective was to show how the notions of space and identity were rethought, through new figurations. First, we analyzed the spatial representations through two symbolic topographies of African literature: Africa and Europe. It was also a question of distinguishing the appearance of new identity spaces such as Afropea ; this intangible space that accompanies the identity of the new African-European character that is the Afropean. Secondly, we analyzed the problematic identity of the characters in order to identify, through the psychological, ethnic, social, and ontological elements, the principle of the individual's self-representation

Full textAbstract:
Le thème de l’immigration a inspiré une floraison d’œuvres littéraires francophones. Celles-ci prennent appui sur les grandes mobilités humaines et technologiques inhérentes au XXIesiècle et figurent les défis propres à la société de globalisation, principalement les problèmes de cohabitation interculturelle. La réception de ce corpus, dans le cas du roman africain subsaharien, parle de l’émergence d’une "nouvelle génération" de romanciers africains; thèse par ailleurs accréditée par la démarche institutionnelle des écrivains migrants eux-mêmes, comme en témoigne l’affiliation de certains au mouvement de la "littérature-monde" en français. La thèse se propose d’interroger cette problématique à travers une approche inspirée de l’analyse du discours littéraire. Elle se fonde sur le rappel de l’historiographie du roman africain de voyage. Il s’agit d’abord de questionner la périodisation des œuvres qui mettent en scène le parcours d’un personnage africain en Occident, dont certaines, bien que fondatrices, sont rarement prises en compte par le discours critique. Ensuite l’analyse porte sur la comparaison des œuvres de la "négritude" et celles de la "migritude",d’une part à l’aune des catégories comme le personnage, l’espace et l’imaginaire; d’autre part à travers les phénomènes d’intertextualité entre ces romans. Enfin, à la lumière des théories postcoloniales et de la sociologie du fait littéraire, la thèse présente cette littérature émergente comme la réécriture d’une archive; l’interrogation relative à l’accessibilité de l’Afrique et de sa diaspora à la culture du monde global. En cela la "migritude" se pose comme un mot-valise qui intègre aussi le discours de la "négritude"The topic of immigration has inspired an explosion of novels in Francophone Literature. They usually lean on the twenty-first century’s mobility of people and technologies in order to fictionalize issues related to cosmopolitanism. In the specific context of sub-Saharan African Literature, literary criticism assimilates this corpus to the ‘’Migritude’’, a phenomenon presented as the raising of a new generation of African writers in contemporary France. The writer’s institutional approach also comes to strengthen this perception. Indeed, a mess of them have signed the manifesto of the World Literature in French. Our thesis needs to examine these problems through the Literature Discourse Analysis approach. The primary step is about the reminder of historiography related to postcolonial African travel fictions. Afterwards the reflection seeks to compare those African novels, between the founding and the recent, on the basis of categories such as characters, space and imaginary. With regard to postcolonial theories as well as the narrative phenomenon of intertextuality, this thesis finally consider the emerging of post-colonial African Travel Literature as the rewriting of an archive running across Francophone African travel-writings since the early twenty century. They all question the accessibility of Africa and its diaspora to the Global Culture

Full textAbstract:
Les épigones de la Négritude nous ont habitués, dans la confrontation de l’Afrique et l’Europe, à la mise en scène d’un personnage qui, après avoir rêvé d’Europe avec des stéréotypes de l’image de la France véhiculées par l’école coloniale, est confronté, lors de son séjour en Europe, aux conditions de l’exil avec l’éloignement de la terre maternelle à laquelle porte toutes ses aspirations. Mais avec les écrivains de la Migritude, l’émigration vers l’Europe prend un contour différent, elle n’est plus motivée par une volonté de découverte mais une fuite de la terre maternelle devenue répulsive alors que l’Europe est aux yeux du migrant un lieu attractif enjolivé par les récits des immigrés qui ont déjà fait le voyage. Ce présent travail de recherche s’efforce de rendre compte de l’évolution qui s’est opérée sur la représentation de l’immigration en Europe depuis les écrivains de la première génération jusqu’à ceux de la secondeThe followers of the Negritude accustomed us to the confrontation between Africa and Europe through the staging of a character-dreaming of Europe with stereotyped images of France conveyed by the colonial school-who is confronted with the conditions of exile during his stay in Europe and the remoteness of motherland which bears all his aspirations. But for the writers of Migritude, emigration to Europe takes a different turn; it is no longer motivated by a desire for discovery but an escape from the native land which has become repulsive, while Europe is in the eyes of migrants, an attractive place embellished by the stories of immigrants who, have already made the journey. The present research seeks to reflect on the change that has taken place on the representation of immigration in Europe, from the writers of the first generation to those of the second generation

Full textAbstract:
La transformation de l'imaginaire dans les sociétés d'Afrique francophone noire est indéniable. Le mouvement de la négritude, qui prônait une Afrique unifiée dans les années 50-60, a laissé place à une grande déception suite aux Indépendances. Les dictatures qui ont suivi, la fin du communisme et les guerres ont fini par mettre fin au rêve d'une Afrique unifiée et par pousser une bonne partie de la jeunesse africaine à l'extérieur du continent. De plus, l'impact de la colonisation sur l'imaginaire africain est toujours prégnant, mais ses modalités se sont transformées avec la migration massive des jeunes Africains dans les pays occidentaux. Les écrivains des années 2000, qu'on appelle, ici, écrivains de la migritude, sont partis dans ces pays pour ne plus revenir sur leur terre natale, contrairement aux écrivains de la négritude. Ils ne se sentent plus en phase avec leur patrie, et du coup l'image de l'Afrique se transforme. L'enjeu identitaire est déterminant, autant que le parcours historique de ces jeunes écrivains. Le monde dans lequel ils évoluent est coloré par les migrations massives et le choc de l'incompréhension avec les sociétés d'accueil. Les questions de l'immigration et de l'acculturation sont-elles suffisantes pour transformer l'image identitaire d'un individu? Où subsiste-t-il des substrats dans l'imaginaire de ces écrivains? Ont-ils des liens avec leurs prédécesseurs, les écrivains de la négritude? Ont-ils le rêve d'une Afrique qui émerge, ou sont-ils seulement partis pour devenir autre et autrement? Les écrivains de la migritude sont-ils le symbole de la transformation radicale de l'image de l'Afrique? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous allons d'abord rechercher dans les écrits des romanciers de la migritude ce qu'ils ont en commun. Pour obtenir ces données, nous ferons une lecture des œuvres choisies à partir de la théorie du chronotope de Bakhtine. L'idée étant de trouver une écriture type à travers l'utilisation de l'espace-temps et des différents procédés narratifs. Si les écrivains de la migritude usent des mêmes types de chronotopes, c'est qu'ils partagent un même imaginaire et s'inscrivent de façon particulière dans l'histoire littéraire du continent africain et exercent une influence sur leurs pairs. Ce type d'analyse va permette de mettre en relief la transformation de l'imaginaire qui a cours en Afrique francophone noire et d'y voir les modulations sociétales au plan de l'identité et du devenir imaginé des sociétés africaines. Bien sûr, l'interprétation reste partielle, mais permet de mettre en relief les différences de regards que portent les Africains par rapport à d'autres migrants. Par ailleurs, les écrivains migrants, nombreux à vivre les mêmes questionnements face à l'identité et face à la réalité de la migration à l'époque postcoloniale, vont nous servir de barème afin de voir la particularité africaine. Les enjeux du temps et de l'espace sont incontournables pour comprendre la posture des écrivains en situation de déterritorialisation, puisque la rencontre avec l'autre ne se fait plus à partir des mêmes bases qu'à l'époque coloniale. Il y a dorénavant un regard posé de part et d'autre. Ce n'est plus le seul point de vue occidental qui peut être porté sur les mondes étrangers. L'écrivain migrant va lui aussi poser son regard et former sa critique de façon à être l'objecteur de conscience de la société d'accueil. Cette recherche vise à mettre en lumière la transformation de l'imaginaire et ses modalités en Afrique francophone noire de l'époque coloniale à aujourd'hui, mais aussi, l'influence de cette transformation sur les autres sociétés, puisque la transformation se fait par le biais de migration massive. Il y a donc une interinfluence entre les sociétés. La question du vivre ensemble est alors incontournable et devient le sujet privilégié des écrivains; sujet qui est fondamental dans un monde en restructuration.

Full textAbstract:
Global migration is more pronounced than it has ever been while issues concerning immigration are constantly in the news. Yet answers as to why remain few and far between. Conscripts of Migration: Neoliberal Globalization, Nationalism, and theLiterature of New African Diasporas intersects black Atlantic, postcolonial, and queer diaspora studies to answer these increasingly crucial questions regarding crises of immigration by rethinking migration historically and globally. From histories of racial capitalism, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and imperialism to contemporary neoliberal globalization and the resurgence of xenophobic nationalism, countries in the Global North continue to devastate and destabilize the global South. Britain, France, Italy, and the United States, in different ways, police the effects of their own global policies at their borders. This book uses the term conscription as a way to understand the political and economic systems that undergird contemporary immigration and its colonial histories while providing the first substantial study of a new body of contemporary African diasporic literature: migritude. Authors like FatouDiome, Shailja Patel, Nadifa Mohamed, Diriye Osman and others, address vital issues of migrancy, diaspora, global refugee crises, racism against immigrants, identity, gender, sexuality, resurgent nationalisms, and neoliberal globalization.

Full textAbstract:
The epilogue examines Kenyan writer Shailja Patel’s Migritude (2010) within the context of the global migrant crises of 2014-2016. It shows how this experimental work of art transforms the figure of the migrant from an object of knowledge into a subject of it. Migritude is a one-woman theatrical show, which Patel remediated into a book that combined the script of the show with a poetic account of the show’s and the book’s production. The book version is the epilogue’s focus and the final chimera of form from which to reflect on the major principles of modernist internationalism as outlined in my study. I argue that the remediated work does more than simply give voice to an oppressed and precarious collective; from within its conjuncture of performance and print, it contemplates the medium dependency of voice, the indirect political agency of art, and the always incomplete nature of cosmopolitical knowledge. The eponymous migritude emerges as a powerfully contemporary “public feeling” for modernist internationalism – one that is conducive to analyzing and surviving the violence of forced displacement.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces the concept of migritude and its literary genealogies that connect back to Négritude as a way to make the claim that this particular group of diasporic African authors not only gets to the heart of immigration but urge us to rethink immigration as we know it. It argues that early European management of movement was integral to the development of the nation-state, its imperial projects, and its processes of racialization in the nineteenth century and its afterlives in the twentieth and twenty-first. The chapter also introduces the importance of the phenomenological method regarding the study of migration—that it is always ontological as such—reading Shailja Patel’s 2010 Migritude as a radically feminist, anti-imperialist, and phenomenological treatise on migration connecting black and South Asian diasporas.

Full textAbstract:
Through an analysis of Fatou Diome’s 2010 novel The Belly of the Atlantic, this chapter rethinks Jacques Chevrier’s definition of migritude, which he describes as a recent cohort of African writers in France who narrate existence between Africa and France and for whom immigration and exile are central themes. The chapter argues more narrowly that migritude writers disclose what Diome terms the “condition d’immigres”; that is, they image the conditions and structures of immigration as a national and international network of systems expropriating the means of movement from formerly colonized peoples and that these systems have a colonial past. In addition, it unpacks Diome’s conversations with the Négritude tradition, noting that, at the same time she borrows from her authors, she refashions aspects of Négritude in terms of migration. She reappropriates, for example, Léopold Sédar Senghor’s black humanism, and mobilizes it into her global twenty-first century as a migrant humanism challenging immigration under neoliberal globalization.
