Review - French Reunissant les contributions de chercheuses et chercheurs d'Afrique, d'Europe et d'Amerique du Nord, l'ouvrage interroge les discours portant sur les representations de voix feminines subsahariennes et diasporiques. A l'heure ou les stereotypes de genre sont denonces au niveau planetaire, il parait essentiel d'analyser comment s'affirment, se negocient ou s'inventent des facons d'etre femme par le biais de la litterature ou de l'histoire, du discours savant ou de la BD, du cinema ou des arts visuels. La diversite des approches critiques, traversant le temps et l'espace, est enrichie par des entretiens exclusifs avec les ecrivaines Djaili A. Amal, Bessora, Calixthe Beyala et Veronique Tadjo.
