Ibrahima is interested in Francophone literatures and cultures: Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, the Maghreb, and Francophone Canada; also applied linguistics. He is in the final stages of editing a book on socio-cultural dualism in Francophone Africa. It concerns “the interrelations between inherited Western languages and cultures and indigenous African civilizations” in the formation of identity. Currently, he is working on “Mémoires d’Indochine,” a project involving the mémoires of the tirailleurs sénégalais and the francophone afro-asian diaspora in West Africa.
