In the novel Rouge impératrice, published in 2019, Cameroonian author Léonora Miano introduces a vision of the future united state of Katiopa which enables her to reconsider some present problems and offered socio-political solutions. The image of the possible future of the African states constitutes a clever and innovative analysis of the current political and cultural issues of the African continent, and its possibilities for a stable and peaceful progress. At the same time, Miano tries to stay clear of the category of Black utopia.}, doi = {10.4467/20843860PK.21.036.14356}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przeglad-kulturoznawczy/article/afryka-ktora-nadchodzi-nie-utopijna-wizja-przyszlosci-w-powiesci-rouge-imperatrice-leonory-miano} }
