A search of the MLAIB [Modern Language Association International Bibliography] finds that the number of pieces published in the last thirty years on the subject of ‘globalization’ is in the thousands, and yet only 5 per cent of them address Africa or African countries. When it comes to eighteenth-century studies, the exclusion is total: not one of the pieces on globalization addresses Africa or African countries. Not one. … This is more than unfortunate. No arena of study can be successful that has Africa as a lacuna. ” Wendy Laura Belcher

Broad early modern comparative projects often fail to address Africa
at all. A search of the MLAIB [Modern Language Association
International Bibliography] finds that the number of pieces published
in the last thirty years on the subject of globalization is in the
thousands, and yet only 5 per cent of them address Africa or African
countries. When it comes to eighteenth-century studies, the exclusion
is total: not one of the pieces on globalization addresses Africa or
African countries. Not one. This is more than unfortunate. No
arena of study can be successful that has Africa as a lacuna.
