In the world of French-language literature sub-Saharan works have come a long way from negritude to migritude with successive generations of writers anchoring an original aesthetic within the universal literary repertoire. Indeed from 1930 to the proclamation of independence sub-Saharan writing never ceased to evolve in parallel with the world's geopolitical changes whether in terms of form or themes. Indeed by focusing on the African novel of migritude this thesis raises major questions about the originality of sub-Saharan writing and its aesthetic configurations in terms of identity scriptural and cultural issues. It now appears that in their experiences of permanent immigration migritude novelists raise modern issues of identity culture and exchange with the Other.
