Description: French literature, Francophone literature - what is behind this seemingly obvious distinction? By revealing the existence of a line of color used to control an unequal literary order, Sarah Burnautzki explores the symbolic violence of racialization in the French literary space. Based on the literary classification challenge posed by the texts of Marie NDiaye and Yambo Ouologuem, and certain key moments so far not visible, research reveals the traces of conflicting negotiations of a literature perceived as 'African' or 'universal' . By articulating the reading of literary texts with questions of the sociology of literature, it is necessary to clarify the way in which certain works by Yambo Ouologuem and Marie NDiaye intervene, sometimes subversively, sometimes in an accomplice, in a literary space Subjugated by racialized power relations. This work represents a considerable enrichment of the knowledge of the two authors. Innovative and ambitious study, methodically articulated reflection, The Racialized Frontiers of French Literature. Facade control and passage strategies inaugurated an important field of investigation in French literary studies.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Honoré Champion: https://www.honorechampion.com/fr/champion/10436-book-08533346-9782745333469.html
