Bøger af Ousmane Sembene

The second novel by Senegalese author Ousmane Sembene is set in colonial French West Africa and tells the story of Oumar Faye who returns from years in the French army to his homeland. It presents a vivid and ultimately shocking account of that moment when the colonialist mindset had not changed but when African opposition was starting to stir.

A biting satire about the downfall of a businessman-polygamist who assumes the role of the colonialist in French-speaking Africa.
