Black romance, romance noire, regards croisés sur la littérature sentimentale – Tim Tim? Bwa Fik!

Yé Moun La ! Pour commencer 2023, je vous propose un épisode spécial qui s’intitule : Black romance, romance noire, regards croisés sur la littérature sentimentale. C’est un Space Twitter que j’ai enregistré le 28 janvier 2023 avec mon amie Isabel. Le but était d’énoncer clairement quelques enjeux importants sur la romance noire en France :  la définition de ce genre littéraire lucratif les différences de représentation de l’amour dans la Black romance états-unienne et dans la romance noire française les différents obstacles à la visibilité des histoires d’amour avec des personnages exclusivement noirs  l’autoédition et le numérique pour promouvoir ces histoires comme c’est le cas aux Etats-Unis et en Afrique.  *** Eugenia O’Neal: vintage.caribbean  Joanne C.
