thanks john
i had to look Pouka up. can we say he is now mostly forgotten? how rare
it is to come across assimilationists, though before the 1950s, before
the dream of independence started to become a reality, there was,
unquestionably, accommodationism, if not total assimilationism. in the
1930s and 1940s how many of the great figures to emerge, like birago
diop, not to mention senghor etc, married french women after getting
their educations in france and joining the colonial service. and yet, to
think of birago diop, one of the great figures in my mind of 20th
century letters, as an assimilé seems far too reductive.
anyway, thanks for the response
