商品簡介
This glossary offers an introduction to Francophone culture and society and a roadmap to further study. Designed specifically with undergraduates in mind, it contains around 400 short and accessible explanations of the key words, events, figures, and concepts in Francophone Studies since 1945. From "afropessimisme" and "griots" to the "Brazzaville Declaration" and "wilaya," this glossary gives an interdisciplinary overview of Francophone culture and society, and offers directions for further reading. Covering politics, popular culture, private life, cultural institutions, and significant events, the entries are fully cross-referenced and assume no prior knowledge, making this an essential reference.
