Abstract
From independence to today, Africa, for the most part, is struggling to overcome the difficulties it faces. Previously, the struggle for freedom was waged at the same time on several levels. One of the most important was undoubtedly the intellectual struggle waged by the founding writers of negritude. However, since the departure of the settlers, the situation has been disastrous. Even as Africans finally rule Africa’s destiny, the continent’s sociopolitical situation is dramatically deteriorating due to poor governance. This is how fictional works developing polemical and pamphleteer strategies appeared. While criticizing political and customary authorities, these accounts seek to thwart censorship. The objective of this work will be to analyze the polemic and pamphleteer aspect of some of these texts produced not to glorify the continent and the black woman as do the authors of negritude, but above allto denounce the defects of Africa and raise awareness. (Mongo Béti, Perpétue et l’habitude du malheur ; Fatoumata Kéita, Sous fer ; Ahmadou Kourouma, En attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages). They invite introspection and change in an henceforth disillusioned Africa. It is therefore also a question of exposing the role of construction of society, of man and of humanity that literature assigns itself.
