Abstract(s)
Se associarmos identidade e memória na África francófona, é a tradição oral que prevalece. São os griots ou anciãos que estão investidos desta missão. Os investigadores contemporâneos procuraram transcrever essas memórias orais para preservar um registo delas hoje, como um testemunho importante da identidade da civilização africana. A colonização também permitiu a preservação destas memórias através da literatura. Os autores africanos começaram a escrever na língua colonial, desenvolvendo inicialmente o romance histórico. Estes contribuíram para despertar a consciência nacional, documentando claramente momentos históricos que tinham efetivamente ocorrido. Les Bouts de bois de Dieu, de Ousmane Sembène, destaca o povo senegalês como um ator coletivo que luta pelos seus direitos. Através da história e da memória, a identidade nacional é preservada
