It calls attention to the African writer's use of French, a process of creative translation in which the writer's words form a hybrid code that compels the original French to refer to the indigenous African language for meaning. Examining a group of works under the theme of translation, this book reveals that a consideration of both ideological and linguistic elements enhances understanding of the subject from the broader perspective of postcolonial discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47587398713495,"sku":"9780820478302","price":7027.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780820478302.webp?v=1774966703","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-francophone-african-text-translation-and-the-postcolonial-experience-9780820478302","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
