Abstract EN
The euphoria of independence in Nigeria was followed by bitter disillusionment as different sorts of predicaments became the fate of the population: poverty, famine, corruption, and civil war.
In such situations, can the writer remain indifferent? This was not the case of two writers, Wole Soyinka and Ken Saro-Wiwa, whose violent confrontations with the authorities led them to jail, followed respectively by exile and execution.
Soyinka’s The Man Died: Prison Notes and Saro- Wiwa’s A Month and a Day: A Detention Diary reflect the status quo of colonialism and neocolonialism in Nigeria, two different stages of what is commonly known as globalization.
Abstract FRE
L’euphorie de l'indépendance au Nigeria a été suivie par une amère désillusion lorsque différentes sortes de malheurs devinrent le sort de la population : pauvreté, famine, corruption et guerre civile.
Dans de telles situations, l'écrivain pouvait-il rester indifférent? Ce n'était pas le cas des deux écrivains, Wole Soyinka et Ken Saro-Wiwa, dont les confrontations violentes avec les autorités les conduisirent en prison, puis respectivement à l'exil et à l'exécution.
The Man Died: Prison Notes de Wole Soyinka et A Month and a Day: A Detention Diary de Ken Saro- Wiwa reflètent le statu quo du colonialisme et du néo-colonialisme au Nigeria, deux phases différentes de ce qui est communément connu sous le nom de mondialisation.
