Writing Africa in French

Recently, French studies at Wits University invited Aminata Sow Fall, a leading woman writer from Senegal, to talk about African literature, the issue of language and the state of French-speaking Africa. When most of the former French colonies became independent in the 1960s, it was a time of euphoria and great hope for the future of Africa, writes Veronique Tadjo.
