Abstract
The presenter argues that post-colonial literatures are increasingly "culturally" appropriated by Western literacy critics and institutions. Their so-called incorporation into the category of World literatures has had little impact on North/South political and economic relations and Western representations of non-western cultures in popular culture. Moreover, the process of decolonization needs to be re-activated by African scholars from the South living in the North as well as within African universities.
