Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Alexandra Wettlaufer for providing the support I needed during a difficult transitional time which led to her role as primary supervisor of my dissertation. It is with her encouragement and careful critique that I was able to complete this work. I am especially indebted to Dr. Hélène Tissières with whom I have worked since the beginning of my doctoral program at the University of Texas. Her invaluable expertise on African francophone literature made her the obvious choice as my initial committee chair. Despite having to become co-chair of my doctoral work when she left the University of Texas, Dr. Tissières remained integrally involved in advising me, providing much needed guidance and continued support. It is because of her unwavering commitment to my personal and professional success that I was able to bring this project to fruition. I would also like to recognize Ananda Devi and Barlen Pyamootoo who generously agreed to meet with me and inspired my writing. Similarly, I’d like to thank Dr. Byron Caminero- Santangelo for his helpful suggestions and feedback during an ALA conference panel, and Dr. Karl Butzer with whom I had the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking conversations that deeply shaped my understanding of cultural geography. Finally, I would like to thank the Department of French and Italian through which I received the Walther Summer Research funds as well as well as the Julia Emerson Walther Fellowships. These scholarships provided me with the opportunity to do field work in Mauritius and enrich my research experience. v Abstract Re-Imagining Environmental Waste: An Ecocritical Reading of Contemporary African Women Writers Yasmina Fawaz, PhD The University of Texas at Austin, 2018 Co-Supervisors: Hélène Tissières and Alexandra Wettlaufer The field of ecocriticism has been growing rapidly since its beginnings in the early 1990s. Since then, critics like Elizabeth Deloughrey and Byron Caminero-Santangelo have indicated the importance of considering African works and their postcolonial contexts in these inquiries, as well as the remaining need to engage with francophone parts of the continent. With a growing interest in the field of postcolonial ecocriticism galvanized by the increasing environmental disasters across the African continent and the globe, contemporary women writers Ananda Devi, Tanella Boni and Fatou Diome offer invaluable perspectives on the various forms of environmental waste as they consider some of the myriad connections between material, human and cultural elements of pollution and degradation. Through the study of three novels, Devi’s Eve de ses décombres (2006), Boni’s Les baigneurs du lac Rose (1995), and Fatou Diome’s Le ventre de l’Atlantique (2003), this project articulates the ways in which these African writers go beyond portrayals of exploitation and waste by re-imagining polluted landscapes and gesture instead to the continent’s potential for material and cultural renewal. vi Table of Contents Introduction: Re-Imagining Environmental Waste; An Ecocritical Reading of Contemporary African Women Writers (Devi, Boni and Diome) ......................1 Chapter 1: De-Romanticizing the Island; Pollution of the Mind and the “désir de repli” in Ananda Devi’s Ève de ses décombres.........................................................20 Pollution of the Mind ..............................................................................................26 Troumaron, cité of refuse and refuge....................................................................38 A Haunting Loss .....................................................................................................44 The “désir de repli” ................................................................................................51 The heart of development.......................................................................................59 Chapter 2: Enchanted Ecology; Reading Mud, Salt and Clay in Tanella Boni’s Les baigneurs du lac Rose ..........................................................................................63 Salted wounds: ........................................................................................................73 Mud and Monsters, the mired aspects of development .......................................83 Enchanting mud: ....................................................................................................90 Nature and the Sacred, The Teachings of Clay....................................................97 Chapter 3: Deep Waters; Pollution and Economies of Meaning in Fatou Diome’s Le ventre de l’Atlantique...........................................................................................106 Plundered waters ..................................................................................................114 The first economy of pollution ...................................................................114 The power of the Belly ...............................................................................122 The second economy of pollution ...............................................................133 Who’s your mother? .............................................................................................137 Wombs and Graves ...............................................................................................148 vii Economies of meaning................................................................................148 Conclusion: The role of environmental aesthetics and sensibility in constructing cultural identity ........................................................................................................155 References .......................................................................................................................164 viii Introduction: Re-Imagining Environmental Waste; An Ecocritical Reading of Contemporary African Women Writers (Devi, Boni and Diome) “…équilibrer les énergies les plus élémentaires pour assurer un minimum vital à toutes les populations de la planète” (Liking 37) “Les différences de richesses entre Nord et Sud, ainsi qu’au sein de chaque société, n’ont fait qu’augmenter, renforçant en particulier les inégalités de sexe, de classe et d’‘éthnie’”(Falquet 9) Early in 2017, the newly-elected U.S president stated his intent to back out of the historical Paris Agreement made during the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference also referred to as COP 21. This agreement aimed to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale by asking each country represented to commit to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees celcius in this century. As a major world economic power and polluter, the United States’ damaging decision to back out of the agreement received major criticism from many world governments including the French who spearheaded and hosted the meetings in Paris that year. France’s outrage at the United States’ decision was weakened a few weeks later when footage of newly elected President Emmanuel Macron’s speech alluded to Africa’s inability to rise to Western definitions of civilization, because of the continent’s natality rate. The president’s comments further undermined the progress that seemed underway with the COP 21. Both these events betray the deep-seated relationship between issues of global socio-economic inequality and environmentalism. At the same time, there has been a systematic failure on 1 the part of global lending entities to properly consider African values and approaches to the environment when devising methods for sustainable economic development for the continent. A possible reason for this oversight, we might posit, could be the erroneous and damaging assumption that Africa bears complete responsibility for the pollution and economic deficits it contends with, making any traditional knowledge or input appear obsolete when planning an economic future that aims to rival Western and capitalist standards of development and prosperity. This of course is far from true, particularly with respect to the continent’s pollution production, as demonstrated by Valadkhani et al.’s “A Multiplicative Environmental DEA Approach to Measure Efficiency Changes in the World’s Major Polluters” (2016), a study aimed at demonstrating how efficiently the world’s largest climate polluters managed to reduce their harmful emissions. Using data from the World Bank (2015) they determine that: in terms of CO2 emissions, the US, China and Russia were the largest CO2 polluters in 2002 and 2007, but in 2011 Russia was replaced by India. In terms of the size of the labour force, freshwater, energy, GDP, CO2 and nitrous oxide emissions, the three largest countries in 2011

    LISIBLE ET RISIBLE Les noms et les titres sarcastiques dans une traduction anglaise de La Préférence Nationale de Fatou Diome par ©Sarah Martin Mémoire soumis à l’École des Études supérieures en vue des exigences partielles du diplôme de Maîtrise ès Lettres en Études françaises Département d’Études françaises et hispaniques Université Memorial Mai 2014 Saint-Jean Terre-Neuve ABRÉGÉ Ce mémoire se propose d’étudier le sarcasme: son usage, son lien fort avec la culture et sa traduisibilité. En traduisant La Préférence Nationale de Fatou Diome, nous examinons la difficulté de transmettre le sarcasme sous-entendu dans les noms et dans les titres de ce livre. Le traducteur comme médiateur linguistique et culturel doit jauger l’importance des éléments qui entrent en jeu pendant l’acte traduisant. Comme cette traduction anglaise nous le démontre, le traducteur doit souvent prendre la décision soit d’amener son lectorat vers l’écrivain soit d’amener l’écrivain vers son lectorat- un choix qui, entre autres, pourrait mettre en question la fidélité du traducteur. ABSTRACT This thesis proposes to study sarcasm: its use, its strong link to culture and its translatability. By translating Fatou Diome’s La Préférence Nationale, we examine the difficulty in conveying the implicit sarcasm in the names and the titles of this book. As both a linguistic and cultural intermediary, the translator has to gauge the importance of the elements that come into play during the translation process. As this English translation attempts to show, the translator must often make the decision to either steer his or her readership towards the author or to steer the author towards his or her readership- a choice that, amongst other things, might call into question the faithfulness of the translator.

  • Migrant Novelists Who Have Addressed the Theme of Irregular Migration Between Senegal and France in Their Literature
    Rosia Beer GESTURING TO AN EMPTY THEATRE? Author, Text and Audience in the Fiction of Fatou Diome and Aïssatou Diamanka‐Besland Fatou Diome and Aïssatou Diamanka‐Besland are Senegalese women migrant novelists who have addressed the theme of irregular migration between Senegal and France in their literature. The authors, who live in France, write within the context of increased irregular migration and its associated dangers. They also write during a time of increased, and often hyperbolic, public and official discourses surrounding the extent of irregular migration. The authors’ treatment of the theme of migration raises questions concerning the relationship between the Senegalese novelist, her text and her audience. It also raises questions regarding the unique and complex positioning of the migrant writer. RELIEF 5 (1), 2011 – ISSN: 1873-5045. P44-61 http://www.revue-relief.org URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-101688 Igitur publishing © The author keeps the copyright of this article Fatou Diome’s novel Le Ventre de l’Atlantique (2003) became a bestseller in France and was published in English in 2006 as The Belly of the Atlantic. The novel is the story of Salie, a legal Senegalese migrant living in Paris, and her brother Madické, who lives in Niodior, Senegal. Salie attempts to discourage Madické from migrating and is eventually successful. Madické, in hoping to migrate, symbolises a trend among the Senegalese youth. Diome thus uses Salie as a construct to discourage would‐be irregular migrants from leaving Senegal. Aïssatou Diamanka‐Besland’s Patera (2009) is the sequel to her 2007 novel Le Pagne Léger. Her first novel addresses the constraints facing women in Senegal, whereas her second focuses on irregular migration.

Les images des insulaires et des citadins 18 Discussion 21 Conclusion 23 Bibliographie 24 2 Introduction Lors d’une entrevue dans la médiathèque André Malraux à Strasbourg en 2013, une journaliste a eu l’idée de demander à l’écrivaine franco-sénégalaise Fatou Diome si son style représente un héritage des contes de tradition orale de l’Afrique. La réaction de Diome a été immédiate. Elle s’est brièvement tournée vers l’audience, et elle a dit, d’un clin d’œil et en faisant éclater son rire breveté, à la fois chaleureux et sérieux : « Oooh, elle va se faire battre ! ». Ensuite, Diome a expliqué que son style était propre à elle, un mélange de toutes ses expériences, et ne pas à ranger comme simplement « de la littérature africaine ». Plus tard, en 2015, Diome a participé à Ce soir ou jamais, une émission de télévision culturelle dont le thème du jour portait sur les milliers des migrants qui se noient chaque année en tentant de croiser la Méditerranée depuis l’Afrique. Diome a saisi l’occasion pour critiquer sévèrement l’attitude « hypocrite » de l’Union Européenne, l’accusant de causer elle-même la situation par « le pillage » de l’Afrique.

  • Cape Verde Islands, C. 1500–1879
    TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka This dissertation explores how the Atlantic slave trade integrated the Cape Verde archipelago into the cultural, economic, and political milieu of Upper Guinea Coast between 1500 and 1879. The archipelago is about 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. The Portuguese colonized the “uninhabited” archipelago in 1460 and soon began trading with the mainland for slaves and black African slaves became the majority, resulting in the first racialized Atlantic slave society. Despite cultural changes, I argue that cultural practices by the lower classes, both slaves and freed slaves, were quintessentially “Guinean.” Regional fashion and dress developed between the archipelago and mainland with adorning and social use of panu (cotton cloth). In particular, I argue Afro-feminine aesthetics developed in the islands by freed black women that had counterparts in the mainland, rather than mere creolization. Moreover, the study explores the social instability in the islands that led to the exile of liberated slaves, slaves, and the poor, the majority of whom were of African descent as part of the Portuguese efforts to organize the Atlantic slave trade in the Upper th Guinea Coast. With the abolition of slavery in Cape Verde in the 19 century, Portugal used freed slaves and the poor as foot soldiers and a labor force to consolidate “Portuguese Guinea.” Many freed slaves resisted this mandatory service.

ROFHEART A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Comparative Literature written under the direction of Richard Serrano and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Don’t Abandon “Our Boat”: Shifting Perceptions of Emigration in Contemporary Senegalese Literature and Song By MAHRIANA L. ROFHEART Dissertation Director: Richard Serrano The dissertation argues that contemporary Senegalese novelists and hip-hop artists articulate local and global connections as a strategy to address the difficulties of emigration from Senegal. The project examines the way that novelists Aminata Sow Fall, Ken Bugul, and Fatou Diome as well as several hip-hop artists including WaGëblë, Awadi, 3GGA, and Simon Bisbi Clan approach emigration and return. The works of these authors and artists are set in contrast to earlier texts from Senegal that examine migration, wherein it is difficult and often impossible to maintain connections either in Senegal or abroad, resulting in tragic outcomes. Earlier works examined include those by Ousmane Socé, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, and Ousmane Sembene. Using literary and visual analysis of the written texts and hip-hop songs and videos, the dissertation demonstrates how the recent works strategically utilize local, national, and global affiliations to address emigration productively. Ultimately, the project demonstrates that these texts point to the need for a revised critical understanding of migration narratives from Senegal that takes ii into account the full complexity of the affiliations and backgrounds that are often central to the texts.

What Will the New Generation Generate? Gendering Accumulation in Fatou Diome’s Celles qui attendent Abstract In this paper I focus on the penultimate installment of the oeuvre of the much-celebrated Franco- Senegalese writer Fatou Diome, whose largely autobiographical work has garnered a wide following and a lucrative contract with the Flammarion publishing house. I propose that Diome’s 2010 novel Celles qui attendent strongly contributes to a discourse surrounding the roles of males and females in an African economy increasingly dominated by migration. Diome started as a writer who portrayed the empowered role of the female migrant, who is able to accumulate financial capital in urE ope and send it back to Africa in order for males to slowly hoard goods and start businesses.
