Paris, Capital of the Black Atlantic: Literature, Modernity, and Diaspora. Edited byJeremy Braddock and Jonathan P. Eburne. Modern Fiction Studies Book Series. Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013.

“The collection consecrates Paris in its heyday, a city loaded with the utmost cultural, social, and political significance, yet paradoxically, it also points toward a place on the verge of being demythologized and decentralized and thus to a place “that will never be again,” as T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting puts it in the afterword. The wide range of writers and scholars from American and Francophone studies makes this collection very original and an exciting adventure in concepts, movements, and ideologies that could be acceptable to non-specialists as well.”
