Europe occupies the place of the Other here. In nine essays derived from the namesake project at the Växjö University, Sweden, campus of Olaussen (English) and Angelfors (French), Africanists discuss images of Europe presented in African literatures written in English or French in the context of the current postcolonial studies' focus on the interdependence of white European male power structures and the Other. From different regions of Africa, authors examine literary texts concerned with the immigrant experience in Europe, including Jews in South Africa in Dan Jacobson's Lithuania; connections between Western and African Marxism and feminism in Femi Osofisan's play, Morountodun; and opposing images in Marie Cardinal's journey back to Algeria from France in Au pays de mes racines.
