Pour une approche comparee des oeuvres africaines d'expression francaise: quelques exemples appliques
Article Abstract:
French teachers who want to include African literature written in French in their curricula must think about a cultural and geopolitical preparation of their students. Without such a preparation students might have such reactions as the guilt of the colonist or the cultural misunderstanding of traditions such as polygamy. Teaching such literature is described using the novel 'Une Vie de boy' by Ferdinand Oyono and the film 'Chocolat.' The text of the article is in French.

The Internet also allows authors in Africa and other regions where publishing is difficult to find readers more easily. Article text is in French.
