Abstract

Abstract: Léonora Miano's novel Rouge impératrice (2019) plunges readers into the year 2124 to imagine a future for the African continent. Decolonial approaches, especially as theorized by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, demonstrate how the novel elaborates a decolonial aesthesis of recentering. This concept helps define the decolonial posture at work in it, where an imaginary return to Africa is informed by reenvisioning the past and reflecting on ecology and gender.
