« Altérité, Syncrétisme et Ecriture : Regard Croisée Entre les littératures Africaines et Occidentales » Intitulé de l'Article: The African Writer Between the Alien Language and his Society

Abstract

It is conceivable that the African writer, because of the situation of his society, could stand in different to that argument which calls up his humanity and commitment. This might be an answer to those who pretend that the African writer's vision of the world blurred and lacking originality; his adoption of the other's language does translate nothing but his westernized tendency. Before judging, one should know the very delicate position in which the African author finds himself.
