Ahmadou Kourouma and his colleagues argue that the French language inadequately captures the African worldview, leading to a linguistic rebellion that distorts its vocabulary and grammar. They suggest that just as Canadian, Swiss, and Belgian variants of French emerged, so too could an African French evolve to better express the continent's realities. Faced with the legacies of colonialism and ongoing struggles, Kourouma seeks to use the French language not for artistic luxury, but as a tool for mobilization and genuine representation of his people's experiences.
