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.Authors, AfricanAuthors, African.843Hitchcott Nicki1620953MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809112103321Calixthe Beyala3954030UNINA
