The first critical anthology of its kind, this is an in-depth look at Somalia's internationally acclaimed and award-winning novelist, Farah - one of Africa's most multilingual and multi-literal writers. Although since his exile in 1974 he has been influenced by many cultural trends from around the world, his writing is still very firmly rooted in the African continent which he has made his base since 1981.

Farah's landmarkVariations on the Theme of an African Dictatorship trilogy is comprised by the novels Sweet and Sour Milk, Sardines, and Close Sesame. In this volume, the third and final book in the series, the characters are deeply entwined in the waking nightmare of a police state. An old man finds himself poised in mortal combat with an elusive and cunning enemy in an atmosphere where the distinction between public and private justice is always obscured. Close Sesame is a novel that offers "an eloquent indictment of the tyrannies committed both under Islamic law and in the name of Socialism" (The Observer).

The Fiction of Imperialism attempts to promote dialogue between international relations and postcolonialism. It addresses the value of fiction to an inderstanding of the imperial relationship between the West and Asia and Africa. A wide range of fiction and crisicism is examined as it pertains to colonialism, the North/South engagement and contemporary Third World politics. The book begins by contrasting the treatment of cross-cultural relations in political studies and literary texts. It then examines the personal as a metaphor for the political in fiction depicting the imperial connection between Britain and India. This is paired with an analysis of African literary texts, which takes as its theme the relationship between culture and politics. The concluding chapters approach literature from the outside, considering its apparent silence on economics and realpolitik and assessing the utility of postcolonial reconceptualisations

Scholars have problematized otherness and madness in diverse ways. There are those who hold that otherness is madness in itself of which leading voices are Michel Foucault and Gregory Reid. Other scholars contradict these voices and single out madness as a clinical condition that arises from strands of othering such as political, gender, class, age and racial. Frantz Fanon is the leading voice of this school of thought that demonstrates how othering destroys the psyche of the marginalised groups. This book extends Fanon's thesis with regard to madness in selected works of African fiction. Whereas Fanon stops at conceptualisation of the nexus between othering and madness, in this book, the authors incorporate the fragmented self, which is equally disabling.

El envejecimiento no es sólo un proceso biomédico, sino también social, económico, psicológico, político y cultural. Las representaciones literarias del envejecimiento contribuyen a entender aspectos como el miedo a la decrepitud, la pérdida de creatividad o la muerte, las relaciones intergeneracionales y la sostenibilidad de la calidad de vida. En el libro, escritores y académicos discuten temas de vital importancia para nuestras sociedades actuales con artículos y entrevistas que reflejan actitudes positivas hacia el proceso en que todos estamos implicados.
