Sounding Off: Rhythm, Music, and Identity in West African and Caribbean Francophone Novels - Julie Huntingon

Intrigued by “texted” sonorities—the rhythms, musics, ordinary noises, and sounds of language in narratives—Julie Huntington examines the soundscapes in contemporary Francophone novels such as Ousmane Sembene’s God’s Bits of Wood (Senegal) and Patrick Chamoiseau’s Solibo Magnificent (Martinique).
