Her novels are bestsellers and she appears regularly on French television, yet a conviction for plagiarism has tarnished her reputation. Thus, she is both an "authentic" African author and a proven literary "fake."In Calixthe Beyala, Nicki Hitchcott considers representations of Beyala in the media, critical responses to her writing, and Beyala's efforts to position herself as a champion of women's rights. Hitchcott pays equal attention to Beyala's novels, tracing their explorations of the role of migration in the creation of personal identity.Contemporary French and francophone cultures ;5.Emigration and immigration in literatureIdentity (Psychology) in literatureEmigration and immigration in literature.Identity (Psychology) in literature.843Hitchcott Nicki1500377UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910782562903321Calixthe Beyala3727031UNINA
