| dc.description.abstract | African oral traditions reveal that, long before the colonial era, African communities have always sought to build an ideal society where they could live happily ever after, in perfect harmony with their environment. In that quest, as narrated or sung by generations of griots, it has always been essential to protect nature by only exploiting it for subsistence purposes. With that in mind, this study intends to contribute to the debate on the progress of contemporary African societies. To that end, our analysis will focus on the outcome of this African ecological hope in a globalized world, focusing on postcolonial French-speaking African literature. Mainly, we will be guided by the novel of Jean Roger Essomba (Le dernier gardien de l’arbre) and the short story collections of Scholastique Mukasonga (Ce que murmurent les collines), two postcolonial literary works that demonstrate a certain ecological awareness. Considering certain circumstances and events inherent to the history of Africa, it is important to investigate the actual status of that much-desired African heavenly natural habitat. | en_US |
