Une Question de générationFootnote

Pages 215-226 | Published online: 21 Mar 2016
 

ABSTRACT

The article analyzes the situation of writers born after African independence, that is to say, who have not known slavery or colonization, but have experienced dictatorships and are forward looking. However, the genocide of Rwandan Tutsis will be pushed to the extreme dissociation on the continent. For it is clear: there is no African country that is free from its insanity, the conditions that have caused its explosion on the Rwandan hills are met in all African countries. Anyway, we can no longer write in Africa as if the genocide did not take place in Africa.

Notes
