Author Biography

Stephen L. Bishop

Stephen L. Bishop is an Associate Professor of French at the University of New Mexico. His professional orientation is in Francophone literature and legal discourse, as exemplified in his Literature and Legal Storytelling: The Irony of Legal Opposition in Cameroon (Lexington Books), which examines how people contest the dominant legal and social order in Cameroon through reading and writing legal stories that ironically portray governmental inadequacies. He has also published articles dealing with legal constraints on African cinema, oppositional approaches to FGM, the interaction of legal power and aristocratic privilege in Quebec, African Judicial independence, and Jacques Derrida. His current research involves guilt and shame in African literature, examining how they are used both to reinforce and counter the dominant social discourse.
