| Sumario: | African literature in French language has had an important development from the 60s of the XXth century, because this period coincides with European colonies’ independence. Associated with this fact and its immediate consequences, a narrative is born, which is sometimes disappointing in tone and critical in spirit. This narrative places in the center of its meditations the relationship between past and present, Africa and Europe, the possibility of a personal identity as opposed to the stereotype wrought and propitiated by the foreigner. This can be appreciated -for example- in the novels of the senegalese author Ken Bugul. The objective of this work is to present an authoress of big importance in its way but still unknown in our country, highlighting her particular vision of a European continent in crisis that reveals so much about others as of herself. To deal with this topic the contributions of postcolonial studies become pertinent as well as those of her autobiographical literature. I start from the reading and analysis of three autobiographical novels of the authoress, the contrast with her own declarations and the review of the general criticism of African French-speaking literature and of Ken Bugul’s literature. |
