Summary/Abstract: Developed in recognition of Professor Józef Kwaterko on the occasion of his seventieth birthday and fiftieth anniversary of his professional career, the book is a collection of articles by outstanding specialists in Francophone literature of the Americas. From Quebec, and more broadly, from Canada to the Caribbean, the texts collected in this book provide a panorama of issues, aesthetics and socio-cultural themes characteristic of American francophony. Reading these articles will allow the reader to attempt to "decipher America" and thus follow in the footsteps of Professor Józef Kwaterko, who for years has been tirelessly researching and discovering new meanings of French-speaking literature of the Americas. A handful of more personal testimonies, which complement the book, help to better understand the personality and path of the Professor, an expert in his field, but also a colleague and a friend, sensitive to cultural diversity and the variety of experiences of those close to him.
