Resumen o Introducción

This essay explores the depiction of Africa in Zadie Smith's "Swing Time" in connection to Foucault’s concept of heterotopias to find out how (differently) Africa is depicted in the novel and which of the different depictions is the illusion and which the reality.

Yet what is reality, and what is the "heterotopia", the illusion?
