| description | This article examines the perception of Métis identity in Abdoulaye Sadji’s, David Ndachi Tagne’s and Albert Russo’s works. Abdoulaye Sadji is among the first authors from Sub-Saharan Africa to take a keen interest in Métis identity. While Russo is known for his aesthetics of hybridity, Tagne, a journalist, is little known in literary circles. The three authors represent the Métis as a moment of deconstruction of the colonial project of racial segregation. Abdoulaye Sadji raises the existential identity problems linked to the existence of the Métis, thus describing the intermediate space that the Métis constitutes as an impasse, the symbol of colonization based on separation. While Tagne defends a pessimistic approach that predicts a grim fate for Métis identity, Russo sees it as an opportunity, a path towards an uninhibited postcolonial reality, though he acknowledges its ambivalence and complexity. Russo also suggests that in order to keep the Métis identity alive and preserve its potential, it must be withdrawn from the colonial past and be part of a vision of the future. |
