From a Colonial to a Postcolonial African Voice:Amkoullel, l'enfant peul

Abstract

In our broad use of the term "postcolonial" to characterize contemporary African culture, there is an implicit understanding that the colonial experience played a critical role in shaping the identity of societies that emerged from extensive periods of European rule. We can trace such an impact directly through a great variety of written African documents produced under colonialism as well as through various reflections on this experience by African historians and other thinkers after the attainment of independence. However, among the fictional works that have entered into the canon of modern African literature, the topic of colonialism is conspicuous for its relative absence.
