African Primodial Society in Armah and Kourouma’s Historical Novels: The Binary Polemics of Yes and No to Retours Aux Sources

Africa remains a massive political wasteland after her independence failure. The foremost nationalists who became first generation leaders and their corrupt successors in the post-colonial era mismanaged the huge success in a disconcerting manner and Africa’s political, social and economic life was marked by irony and contrast. This dismal situation engendered hopelessness and scepticism which triggered off disillusionment literature. Should Africa return to her cradle of unspoilt spring of pristine and primordial values? Were these values really magnificent? Should we disdain her past and be thankful enough to colonisation and so join the global train? Ayi Kwei Armah and Ahmadou Kourouma offer different perspectives in their historical novels’ accounts. This paper reviewed the high stakes in retour aux sources spiritual movement against the call for Africa to brace forward. It concluded by stating that the authors’ parallel views are gnawed by the same virus—dissention (disunity) of which they accused the ancient society. But isn’t it natural for heterogeneous voices to delimit all known historical accounts?Key words: Historical novels, primordial values, disillusionment, retour aux sources

On the Geology of Natal, in South Africa

I. Geography of the Country: Watersheds. The colony of Natal presents the appearance of a series of terraces; the first terrace begins to rise about thirteen to twenty miles from the coast, and forms a hilly country, about 1000 feet above the level of the sea. It forms plateaux in abrupt rising steps until it reaches the height of about 2300 feet, after which the country sinks gradually again to the level of Pietermaritzburg (2080 feet above the sea); but it soon rises again to the high plateaux of the Town Hill and Zwartkop (about 5000 feet high). In a very few steps it forms the long and mighty range of the Draakensberge, which form the great watershed line between the rivers of the Atlantic and the Indian oceans. We find in this range the Mont aux Sources (12000 feet above the level of the sea), a knot of mountains, which sends spurs in five directions, forming the Witteberge and the Quathlamba Mountains. All these great steps and plateaux run parallel to the coast, and consist of more or less broad belts of country. The small belt on the seashore shows tropical vegetation. The sugar-cane, the coffee, and now recently the tea shrub, and the greatest variety of tropical fruits find here suitable climate and ought to be sources of immense riches to the country if properly managed. When we ascend the first terrace, the change in the landscape is at once remarkable, and the vegetation has quite a different
