Beschreibung
First published in 1957, three years before Senegal's independence, Oh My Country, My Beautiful People! is Ousmane Sembene's second novel and a landmark of anti-colonial literature.

Set in Ziguinchor in the Casamance region of southern Senegal, the novel captures a pivotal historical moment when French colonial authority remained entrenched, yet African resistance was beginning to stir.

The story follows Oumar Faye, a war veteran returning home with his French wife, determined to build a new life from the soil of his homeland. His vision of progress challenges colonial power, entrenched interests, and deeply rooted traditions.

Rich in atmosphere, political insight, and emotional intensity, this first English translation restores a vital African classic to a new generation of readers.
