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. 410 0$aContemporary French and francophone cultures ;$v5. 606 $aAuthors, African 615 0$aAuthors, African. 676 $a843 700 $aHitchcott$b Nicki$01620953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809112103321 996 $aCalixthe Beyala$93954030 997 $aUNINA
