- Title
The Novel as Weapon against Dictatorships in French Speaking Black Africa between 1970 and 2000.
- Authors
DIALLO, Djibril
- Abstract
The article examines the way in which seven black African novelists, namely Bernard Nanga from Cameroon, Sony Labou Tansi from Congo Brazzaville, Yves Valentin Mudimbe from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabriel Danzi from Central African Republic, Ahmadou Kourouma from Côte d'Ivoire, Alioum Fantoure from Guinea and Aminata Sow Fall from Senegal have exploited the resources of the French language in grotesque, burlesque, humor and irony to better denouncing the authorities in power in their respective countries during the African independence. This gave them the opportunity to renew the style of novel writing.
