In this innovative work, Michael G. Schatzberg reads metaphors found in the popular press as indicators of the way Africans come to understand their political universe. Examining daily newspapers, popular literature, and political and church documents, he finds that widespread and deeply ingrained views of government and its relationship to its citizenry may be understood as a projection of the metaphor of an idealized extended family onto the formal political sphere.

Ahmadou Kourouma's award winning novel, The Suns of Independence is one of the great classics of Francophone African literature, capturing the dreams and struggles of a newly independent nation. Fama is the last of an ancient line of Dumbuya princes who, before the Europeans came, reigned undisputed over the Malinke tribe. Yet even after independence, Fama is forced to beg for his place amongst the bureaucratic elite. Meanwhile, his wife, Salimata, is desperately attempting to save the Dumbuya legacy from extinction. Beyond the gripping political intrigue, Ahmadou Kourouma weaves together an in-depth tapestry of Malinke culture, blending the everyday experience of 1960s postcolonial life with age-old myths and traditions. 'Perhaps the most remarkable African novelist writing in French.' Guardian

Après une longue amnésie, l'Etat français semblait entrer au début des années 2000 dans une phase de confrontation avec son histoire coloniale. Evoquer, par exemple, la " guerre d'Algérie " et le massacre de Sétif ne posait plus de problème à la mémoire collective. Mais, à la faveur du vote d'un texte de loi qui entendait contraindre les professeurs d'histoire à " enseigner de manière positive la présence de la France dans ses colonies et en Outre-Mer " (la fameuse loi de février 2005 finalement abrogée) puis d'un discours régressif du président Sarkozy en juillet 2007 à l'université de Dakar (" Jeunes d'Afrique, je ne suis pas venu vous parler de repentance "; " Ce sont des Africains qui ont vendu à des négriers d'autres Africains "), nous constatons un retour aux heures noires de l'idéologie coloniale. Essai exigeant mais accessible, Retours du colonial? met en perspective la politique de l'État français à l'égard des territoires et des populations issues de ses anciennes colonies, les analyses et recherches consacrées à ces questions, et les idées qui circulent à ce sujet dans l'opinion. Cet ouvrage collectif conduit de manière salutaire une réflexion sur ce qui s'est constitué et perpétué à partir de la relation coloniale aux plans politique, économique et culturel. Cette mise en perspective de la politique de l'Etat français à l'égard des territoires et populations de ses anciennes colonies analyse les recherches et les questions de la relation coloniale sur les plans politique, économique et culturel.

A multi-layered narrative comprising a series of interwoven short stories and poetic texts which can be read within continental Africa, the African Diaspora and beyond. Tadjo imagines an African society on the brink of total collapse yet there is no doubt that the story resonates in unsettling ways with recent political and social unrest in Côte d’Ivoire. This is a narrative of devastating ideographic power from one of the most important voices in African writing today.

The Old Man And The Medal written by Ferdinand Oyono and has been published by Waveland Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-08-13 with Fiction categories.

Writing in French in the 1950s, Ferdinand Léopold Oyono (1929–2010) had only a brief literary career, but his anticolonialist novels are considered classics of twentieth-century African literature. Like Oyono’s Houseboy, also available from Waveland Press, this novel fiercely satirizes the false pretenses of European colonial rule in Africa. Meka, a village elder, has always been loyal to the white man. It is with pride that he first hears he is to receive a medal. While waiting for the ceremony, however, Meka’s pride gives way to skepticism. At the same time, his wife has realized that the medal is being given to her husband as compensation for the sacrifices they have made. The events following the ceremony confirm Meka’s new estimation of the white man. Both subtle and oftentimes humorous, this beautifully told story lays bare the hollowness of the mission in Africa. It fuels opportunities for discussing colonial politics around class and race as well as for exploring indigenous Cameroon life and values.

God S Bits Of Wood written by Ousmane Sembène and has been published by Heinemann this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1995 with Fiction categories.

"God's Bits of Wood is a fictionalized account of the Dakar-Niger train strikes which took in the 1940s. The novel looks at both the political and personal sacrifices the strikers and their families made. The political power is portrayed here as the strikers try to win back pensions, annual paid vacations, and family allowances from the Europeans. The novel can be seen as a shift of power between the African strikers and their European bosses. The Europeans have the political process and violence as a leverage of power, which they use both insistently and mindlessly. One of the European delegates for the railway company accidentally shoots young boys who are playing along the tracks. The delegate isn't charged with their murders. The Europeans also prevent the strikers and their families from having access to water. Yet the strikers also have the masses as their power. The strikers gain powerful allies in their own women. In the beginning of the novel, the women are not told the details of the strike, though they are asked to support their men. Only the small child, Ad'jibid'ji, shows any interest and insists that her grandfather take her to a meeting of the strikers. Yet as the novel continues, the women become more and more involved in the strike. This is because the strike has hit home to them in a literal way. There is no water nor food to eat. The women and children begin to starve. The women suffer in silence until they begin to fight back. Two of the more striking sequences in the novel are the siege between the women of N'Diayene and the policemen who have come to arrest Ramatoulaye, and leads to the burning down of the village, and the march the women go on to Dakar to protest their treatment and to support the strikers. The strike breaks down the barriers which cause inequality between men and women, black and white." -- from www.associatedcontent.com (Oct. 22, 2010).
