FRANÇOISE UGOCHUKWU, LE PAYS IGBO DU NIGERIA, PRÉFACE DE GRAHAM FURNISS. PARIS, L'HARMATTAN, 2011, 349 P. (ISBN 978-2-296- 12961-0)

Résumé

This book, published in 2010 (with a preface by Graham Furniss), is more a compilation of articles than a study built around a circumscribed theme, except for one person's experience in a given region, in this case the Igbo country of Nigeria. Each text marks a milestone or dimension in the rich career of its author. Françoise Ugochukwu discovered this world after the Biafra war (1970). She literally fell in love with it and decided to make a life for herself, master the language and become, so to speak, an Igbo. Now living in the United Kingdom, she has been travelling back and forth between Nigeria and Europe since 1996 and has taught for almost a quarter of a century at Nsukka University, an academic model for the Federal Republic of Nigeria and beyond.
