Abstract

The political turmoil of postcolonial Africa has ignited the imagination of many authors who tried to capture, through their writing, the essence of the various conflicts and crises that have ensued following the dissolution of the colonial empires. The volume "Raconter les Politiques Conflictuelles en Afrique" untangles the narrative representation of conflict and is bears testament to the complexity of its role in shaping the understanding of the past and present, demonstrating the intertwined relation between politics and literary creation in Africa.
