"This book is a valuable contribution to what is being termed the geo-humanities. Crowley combines an erudite understanding of geographers' theorizations of place with a rich, careful reading of both postcolonial studies and key novels from Africa. He breaks new ground in exciting ways in the interstices between geography, comparative world literature, and African studies." - Garth A. Myers, Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of Urban International Studies, Trinity College, USA "Offering detailed and insightful readings of work by Senghor, Ngugi, Farah, Head, and Abani, Africa's Narrative Geographies is an admirable example of the burgeoning field of geocritical studies, fully validating Crowley's claim that it is 'imperative to think geographically, to be attuned to the dynamics of space, place, and scale.'" - Simon Lewis, Professor of English, College of Charleston, USA
