MUTATIONS POLITIQUES EN AFRIQUE : POUVOIR, CONFLITS ET VIOLENCE DANS LA VIE ET DEMIE DE SONY LABOU TANSI
POLITICAL CHANGE IN AFRICA: POWER, CONFLICTS AND VIOLENCE IN SONY LABOU TANSI’S LA VIE ET DEMIE

Summary/Abstract: In many African countries, the political power is more often than not controlled by authoritarian governments. Armed conflicts and insecurity break out when political figures emerging from the populations resist in a violent or non-violent way to the anti-democratic power. This article analyses how Sony Labou Tansi, a Congolese writer, casts lights on the lack of democracy in some African countries through a vivid description of their socio-political environment. The political violence leads to the dispersion of African populations and their migration towards peaceful nations. This situation contributes, in a certain extent, to the internationalization and globalization of cultures, a theme explored by postcolonial studies.
