摘要：几十年来，非洲人的文学作品一直被解读为后殖民主义和民族主义。从20世纪60年代开始，研究殖民主义对被殖民者的影响就渗透到非洲文学批评中。随着许多非洲国家获得独立，镜头转向作家在作品中寻找民族主义利益。较新的非洲文学批评认为，当代非洲写作避开了这两种方法。Helon Habila将当代非洲作家描述为后民族主义者。这篇文章与邮政的内容，并发现它是目前主导的偏见，非洲人。这篇文章通过阅读Jennifer Makumbi的《Kintu》来质疑非洲人后民族主义的包容性，并主张一种更具包容性的当代后民族主义。
ABSTRACT:For several decades, literature produced by Africans has been read as postcolonial and nationalist. The study of the impact of colonialism on the colonized permeated African literary criticism from the 1960s. With the attainment of independence for many African countries, the lens changed to the search for the nationalist interests of the writers in their works. Newer African literary criticism contends that contemporary African writing eludes these two approaches. Helon Habila describes contemporary African writers as postnationalist. This article engages with the content of the postnation and finds that it is currently dominated by a bias for the Afropolitan. The article questions the inclusiveness of Afropolitan postnationalism through a reading of Jennifer Makumbi’s Kintu and argues for a more inclusive, contemporaneous postnationalism.
