Ecotexts in the Postcolonial Francosphere

This book, Ecotexts in the Postcolonial Francosphere, 2025, co-edited by Nsah Mala & Nicki Hitchcott, explores the various ways in which francophone writers, visual artists and activists are responding to the global climate and environmental crises threatening the Earth today, through a postcolonial lens.

The volume covers most of the francosphere: Africa, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, South America and Polynesia. As well as discussing a range of environmental issues, from soil erosion to nuclear testing, it also considers ways in which francophone writers have become ecological activists. The ecotexts discussed include graphic novels, visual narratives, and zines alongside more conventional literary texts such as novels, short stories and poetry.
