“It is now a quarter century since Ken Bugul’s Le Baobab fou (1983) burst on the scene with its shocking account of a young Senegalese girl experiencing alienation and dislocation as an orphaned child, and marginalization and desperation in her years of exile in Europe. Gone are the comforting images of the African child embraced by the community, raised by the entire village, seeking successful reward for hard work with the scholarship to Europe. The first generation of testimonial novels penned by the francophone “fathers” of African literature has given way to the Senegalese mothers, Mariama Bâ, Nafissatou Diallo, Aminata Sow Fall, and Ken Bugul, among others. Mothers and daughters, wives and mistresses, have known the spectrum of lives marked by struggle, silence, but also resistance, fulfillment, and above all, a determination to write.
Recueil de 14 articles consacrés à Ken Bugul et à l'ensemble de son œuvre
