BLACK AFRICA: THE LITERATURE OF RENÉ MARAN
BLACK AFRICA: THE LITERATURE OF RENÉ MARAN

Summary/Abstract: The French language, introduced in Africa with colonization, is now one of the major languages of communication. Playing a vital role in the schooling of children and, therefore, in the transition to the African writing, accustomed to oral transmission, French has certainly become the language of the generation of modern Negro-African intellectuals. African languages continue to give life to the traditional expression of cultures and they integrate it into modernity through the novel, poetry, song, theatre. As a consequence, we propose a fine analysis of negritude, apart from René Maran’s literature. In addition, a teaching sheet attached to our article could be used as teaching material in FFL (French as Foreign Language) classes.
