Hale Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of African, French, and Comparative Literature Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Thomas O. Beebee Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature and German Reiko Tachibana Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, Japanese, and Asian Studies Gabeba Baderoon Assistant Professor of Women‘s Studies and African and African American Studies, and affiliate faculty member of Comparative Literature Jonathan E. Brockopp Associate Professor of History and Religious Studies Mildred Mortimer Professor of French, University of Colorado at Boulder Special Member Caroline D. Eckhardt Professor of Comparative Literature and English Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT An unresolved issue in African literary studies is whether North and sub-Saharan Africa are disconnected from one another, or whether they share elements that can further our understanding of the cultures from which they emerge. Since the mid-twentieth century, due to growing interest in Islam and the Arab world on the global scene, the Arab side of North African identity has been given paramount recognition. More often than not, North Africa is considered part of the Middle East rather than an integral member of an African community, although in spite of shifting political winds in recent years, the literatures that have emerged from North Africa have been firmly embedded in African literary traditions since antiquity, and share strong links with their sub-Saharan counterparts.
