Spatial Study in Ngugi Wa Thiong’o and Mongo Beti’s Trilogy Or the Resurgence of Colonial Oppression

Résumé

This article aims to study the romantic space of of Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Mongo Beti’s trilogies. On the one hand, it establishes a link between the oppression suffered by the characters in the text and the colonial oppression that African populations suffered during the invasion of their continent by European colonizers. On the other hand, it examines the communication crisis that rages between the holders of power and their constituents. To do this, we call upon Stephen Greenblatt and Catherine Gallagher’s new historicism and Mansour M'henni’s brachypoetics.
