Indigenization of Language in the African Francophone Novel: A
New Literary Canon discusses the question ot indigenization in the
African Francophone novel. Analyzing the prose narratives ot Nazi
Boni, Ahmadou
Kourouma, and Patrice Nganang, this book contends
that African literature written in European languages is primarily a cre¬
ative translation process. Recourse to European languages as a medi¬
um of expressing African imagination, worldview, and cultures in
fictional writing poses problems of intelligibility. Developed to express
and reflect Western worldviews and sensibilities, European languages
are employed by African writers to convey messages that seem to be
at variance with European imagination. These writers find themselves
writing in languages they wish to subvert through the technique of lit¬
erary indigenization. The significance ot this study resides in its rais¬
ing awareness to the hurdles that literary creativity in a polyglossic
context may present to readers and translators. This book provides
answers to intriguing questions centering on the problematic of trans¬
lation in contemporary African literature. It is a contribution to cur¬
rent research aimed at unraveling the conundrum surrounding the
language question in African Europhone fiction, particularly the cul¬
tural functions of translation in literature. Potential translation prob¬
lems have to be addressed in order to make African literature written
in European languages intelligible to global readership. With the advent
oi globalization, transcultural communication has become an activity
of enormous importance to the international community. It is a sub¬
ject of great interest to translators, linguists, language instructors, and
literary theorists.
