“African Potential” and overcoming the difficulties of modern world: comprehensive area studies that will provide a new perspective for the future of humanity | Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research(S)


Research Fields	I am interested in African literature, especially the novels and children’s literature written in French by African writers from the former French territories. While devoting attention to the historical and social contexts in which the work was written, I have attempted to read out the expression each writer uses to summon the imagination of the readers and to change their view of reality. Writers I have studied in the past include Véronique Tadjo and Bernard Dadié from the Ivory Coast and Emmanuel Dongala from the Republic of Congo.
