Mohamed Kamara contends that the so-called indigenous colonial bourgeoisie was invented by the colonizer through the school to perpetuate the ideology of the colonizer, and he interrogates the policies and practices of the school and the ways they were informed by discourses of racial difference. While many works, like those authored by Gadjigo and Alessandri, have interrogated the impact of the colonial school on the African individual and society, they do not focus on the relationship between colonial education and the emergence of the African bourgeois and bourgeoise. Accordingly, this book analyzes the various literary strategies used in selected texts to paint a portrait of the school and the class it produced in view of showing the organic relationship between the two. This book adds a fresh perspective on the intimate connection between the school and social transformation in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa. Kamara suggests that the best solution for the continent resides in the continents ability to take what is good in its precolonial past and combine it with what makes sense in todays reality.</p>...4516592Colonial Legacies in Francophone African Literature16021779https://www.gandhi.com.mx/colonial-legacies-in-francophone-african-literature-9781793644459/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4083411/image.jpg?v=638867407426430000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781793644459_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_<p>Colonial Legacies in Francophone African Literature: The School and the Invention of the Bourgeoisie by Mohamed Kamara examines the representation and lasting impact of the colonial school and bourgeoisie in Francophone sub-Saharan literature.
