Postcolonial Children of the Francophone African Literature

Abstract

The article presents a condensed synopsis of the francophone literature of Africa and then focuses on its main subject: French-language literary creations by African authors, publishing since 1990 and called the “children of postcolony”. The essay by Abdourahman A.Waberi (« Les enfants de la postcolonie: esquisse d’une nouvelle génération d’écrivains francophones d’Afrique noire », Notre Librairie, 1998) was our starting point for an in-depth analysis, leading to a balanced presentation of the postcolonial children’s generation.
