This course focuses on the literature of Africa and the Caribbean written by revolutionary authors. The theme of revolution is at the forefront of all the novels we will read and is at the heart of our theoretical study. Reading theorists Jean-Paul Sartre, Frantz Fanon, Albert Memmi, Achille Mbembe, Felwin Saar, Maboula Soumohoro, and authors, Rachid Boudjedra, Ferdinand Oyono, Maryse Conde, Mariama Ba, among others, we will focus in particular on how these writers and philosophers from Algeria, Cameroon, Martinique, Morocco, Tunisia, and Senegal, and elsewhere, use the symbol of revolution as a metaphor or todescribe the violent news and events during the era of decolonization intheir countries. Taught in French.
