Filial Descent: The African Roots Of Postcolonial Literature In Italy, Cristina Lombardi-Diop
Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The essay concentrates on two seminal postcolonial novels by authors of African descent: Cristina Ubax Ali Farah’s Madre piccola (2007) (Little Mother: A Novel) and Gabriella Ghermandi’s Regina di fiori e di perle (2007) (Queen of Flowers and Pearls). It argues that these works give expression to an African diasporic urban generation that is changing the literary legacy of the Horn of Africa.

There are multiple gains in improving HLLs’ writing to create an awareness of the power of the HL through the use of authentic resources with a meaningful goal. Since HLLs should be able to distinguish between registers and genres (Chevalier, 2004), writing chronicles is an effective way to master their communicative competence (Fuentes, 2018). Finally, HLLs’ writing is assessed holistically through rubrics moving from a focus on content to language.

Master's Theses
Esta investigacion analiza la experiencia de la mujer espanola durante la epoca de la postguerra y como se relaciona con el renacimiento de la imagen de la reina Isabel I (1451-1504) como un ejemplar de la feminidad. La revitalizacion de la Reina Catolica sirvio como propaganda politica falangista con el fin de inspirar la subyugacion, devocion abnegada y conformidad de la mujer espanola de aquel entonces. La imposicion de tales expectativas de genero sexual condujo a la privacion de varias libertades sociales, educativas y legales de la mujer espanola durante la dictadura de Francisco Franco (1936-1975) y por medio de …
