Mango Beti et les mythologies postcoloniales : héritier et inspirateur

Mango Beti belongs to a nationalist tradition embodied by Ruben Um Nyobe, the Cameroonian revolutionary. This paper analyzes how the writer manages to rebuild the aborted Rubenist ideal through fictional devices. Charismatic leaders such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, who have been able to bring about social change and improve the living conditions of their people, also nurture Beti\u27s political commitment. What is the link between the writer and these inspiring men? Is Mongo Beti himself a similar inspiration for other African writers
