IN MEMORIAM: MONICA POPESCU (1973-2024)
We remember and honor our friend and GSS advisory board member, Monica Popescu. Professor and William Dawson Scholar of African Literatures in the Department of English at McGill University, Monica was considered one of the foremost scholarly voices in African and Cold War literary studies. Her most recent monograph, At Penpoint (2020), won numerous top awards, including the Book of the Year Award from the African Literature Association. Read more from her obituary.
In 2022, Global South Studies had the privilege of publishing its first book forum on Monica Popescu's At Penpoint: African Literatures, Postcolonial Studies, and the Cold War(Duke, 2020). Read the book forum, including a response essay authored by Popescu, here.
