Abstract

This article examines the importance of the natural environment in Francis Bebey's novels. Using environmental concepts to study the city/countryside opposition, considered respectively as anthropogenic and autogenic spaces, it illustrates the interactions between the two spaces as well as between humans and nature. It comes to the conclusion that in Bebey's works, ecological beliefs are important constituents of the postcolonial discourse from which the novels derive a significant political meaning.
