Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Miami University, French.
This thesis, written in English, seeks to analyze literary and cinematic depictions of post-colonial migration. The work is an examination of three fictionalized accounts from subsequent time periods by Ousmane Sembene, Alain Mabanckou and Mweze Ngangura. Despite their diverse approaches to depicting characters’ experiences of displacement, each author notably presents a dichotomy between the host country and the home country. By analyzing how the colonial mentality is codified in cultural and economic illustrations of this binary, this thesis seeks to prove that Sembene, Mabanckou and Ngangura’s depictions of the migrant experience can be viewed as representative of evolving global dynamics of inequality that define the Franco-African relationship. By contextualizing the characters’ experiences in this way, this thesis brings a new perspective to current debate surrounding migration.
