Coly studies what home means in the context of migration and how gender shapes the meaning of home. This is the first study to bring together migrant women from Francophone Africa. This is also the first study to offer a feminist critique of postnationalist discourses of home, specifically the application of postnationalism to the postcolonial context. 606 $aAfrican literature (French)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aImmigrants in literature 615 0$aAfrican literature (French)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aImmigrants in literature. 676 $a843.914 700 $aColy$b Ayo A$0781186 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953222203321 996 $aThe pull of postcolonial nationhood$94454390 997 $aUNINA
