Call for Submission: Representing Women and Transnationalism in Francophone West Africa

The peer-reviewed Lingua Romana: A Journal of French, Italian, and Romanian Culture (ISSN: 1551-4730) is soliciting previously unpublished scholarly articles on the subject of literary and artistic representations of womanhood and the female experience within a modernizing/globalizing sub-Saharan West Africa for publication in its Fall 2018 volume (deadline: 31 August 2018).

We would especially welcome articles treating the literary works of Ken Bugul, Aminata Sow Fall, Mariama Bâ, Calixthe Beyala, or any other West African women writers, writing in French from the African continent or as part of the diaspora, who deal with the clash of ideologies and cultures in the transnational Francophone world.

Articles may be written in either English or French, should be between 5,000-8,500 words in length, must follow MLA guidelines, and need to be free from any personal identifiers. Authors should expect to have the editor’s decision within 4-6 weeks.

Please e-mail a 100-word abstract and list of keywords with your manuscript attached as an MSWord document to the editor at: lingua_romana@byu.edu.
