Autrices noires et invisibles: Les livres jeunesse afro publiés hors circuit traditionnel

Abstract

This article examines the invisibility of Afro-French youth authors in a publishing landscape that is paradoxically increasingly sensitive to the issue of diversity. Based on interviews I conducted with self-published Afro-French female authors of children's literature, this article gives ample space for the authors to explain their motivations for writing for young people, their choice of publication form, and the freedom and limits that accompany self-publishing.
