T1 The Shifting Profile of Africa in Twenty-First Century Black Canadian Writing
A1 Cuder Domínguez, María Pilar
AB The affective link with Africa was visible in those Black Canadian works composed in the late 1980s and early1990s. In contrast, the profile of Africa has shifted for younger generations of Black diasporan writers inCanada. The purpose of this article is to open up a conversation into how Black Canadian affects, bothconcerning national identity and homeland connection, seem to have shifted roughly after 2000. In order to doso I analyse The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God (2017), a reinterpretation by BlackCanadian playwright Lisa Codrington of George Bernard Shaw's 1932 short story of the same title. Her play wasa milestone in the history of Black Canadian writing, because for the first time a Black Canadian playwright(and a woman, too) was invited to participate in one of Canada's most prestigious and longest-establishedtheatre festivals, the Shaw Festival.
