Rhétorique Nègre Au XVIIIe Siècle: Des Récits de Voyage à la Littérature Abolitionniste

by David Diop

This study shows how the literary transposition of African words gives them the appearance of being prosopopoeic. Drawing their inspiration from travel narratives, abolitionist texts create a significant form of black rhetoric that is found in general representations of the African in the eighteenth century.
