| description | This article aims to demonstrate that mobility has always been made difficult for the African. While the colonized was confined in slums where he was forbidden to access as he wished to the colonizer’s space, the movement of the postcolonial African who lives in so-called globalized world is restricted by immigration laws. Based on Ferdinand Oyono’s Le vieux nègre et la médaille (2005) and the documentary entitled Clandestins: ils traversent l’enfer pour venir vivre en France (Courcy et alii, 2013), we will analyze how colonization make the African to believe that France is a paradise where people can find happiness and wealth. The trajectory of both fictional and real characters will help to show that a colonial syndrome affects the management of space in the globalized world where the African is not always welcome. |
